A 3.5

This is an interesting collection of stories. I find Igbo culture very interesting so, I was definitely going to read this. As expected, the book did not disappoint.
I found a lot of the stories quite intriguing and even though complex themes were explored, I had no trouble understanding and following each of the stories.
That said, there were one or two stories that felt out of place in this collection but they were good, all the same.

challenging dark emotional funny lighthearted tense

I thought this was going to be a funny, lighthearted book because of the title . And the first two or so stories were but then things started to get dark.

I still mostly enjoyed the writing. Jesus’ Yard was my favourite story; I absolutely enjoyed it.
