4.0
The story is formatted as several stories from the past and present. There isn't a main plotline, more so a series of events that the characters go through during their lives. You see how the effects of colonialism continue to impact the main characters no matter what year they're in. Overall, I enjoyed the reading experience and would recommend this book.
