Took me 18 days to finish a 209-page book. It was a struggle I wanted to DNF it but didn't.

Slow to start, once it gets going the narrative and thematic threads of this work come together to tell one of the most compelling stories I have ever read.

Ok def need to reread w a closer reading because this was such a rich text. much to say abt gender, world view/religion, pre-colonization/colonization, family/filial piety. idk if I even followed it all or unpacked any of it
