Ik vond dit een goed boek. Ik had er iets anders van verwacht maar ben aangenaam verrast. Het trage tempo gaf me het gevoel dat ik daar was onder de warme zon wanneer alles zo sloom wordt. Ik hou van boeken die me compleet doen meevoelen met de personages. Het verlangen van Kambili naar de pastoor kwam echt binnen. Die moeilijke mengeling van verdriet, woede en liefde voor een ouder die ‘abusive’ is

This book was challenging to read at times but I got really attached to the characters. I found myself immersed in the story, always wanting to know more about what would happen next. I love how Nigeria was brought to life in culture and experience through the very different lives and lifestyles of the main character's family and her cousins' family.
