I got the sense that Eugene was fundamentally a good man trying to do the right thing, and I couldn’t help but wonder what sort of father and husband he might have been without the corrupting influence of religion.

I just need 10 minutes with “papa”. he had me wanting to jump into the pages and teach him a lesson or two; and i’m not even a violent person :/ i appreciated kambili’s character development.
chimamanda is an excellent writer, and i enjoyed this book so much even though i was enraged. i feel like the ending could’ve been expanded a bit more.

I am happy to report there was no need for me to worry about this.
I started reading and it just sucked me in so to speak.
and I loved it a lot
I mean it also made me sad because of what it is about and all but it was a great story and I am very glad I finally read it
