I enjoyed this collection of short stories immensely. Adichie has a way of describing characters and explaining aspects of the plot that is not overwhelming. Also, most of these stories had little twists that kept me on my toes!

I quite liked the style of writing and it’s an interesting read. The short stories are all enjoyable in their own way and I find it so fascinating to read stories of different countries and parts of the world. I’ll definitely be reading more of Adichie’s work, and more world literature as well.
