4.0

A beautifully written and touching story about family ties, culture and adolescence. I felt for Kambili in her mixed feelings toward her abusive father. The ending has a twist but is somewhat predictable, although this does not take away from its quality. At times I was confused where the story was going, but it didn’t take me out of the narrative.
