4.0

A wholly engaging read with rounded, individual characters, so frequently falling prey to social expectations and the unknowns of fate. Onye is spirited and an unstoppable force, charging wholeheartedly (not always whole-headedly) into situations and disrupting the accepted “natural” order, whether for ostracized groups or women. Who Fears Death is ignorance laid bare, the cruelty of imperialism and its unlovable pervasive extended family, and a circular exploration of life and the (often karmic-inducing) choices we make to survive.
