Very interesting concept. I don’t think I’ve ever read a short story collection where all the stories were connected like this. I really enjoyed the narrative of characters as the spanned over centuries and between the states and Nigeria. Family/generational novels like this always show how our individual decisions impact everyone around us. We are not as insignificant as we like to think - also that last story?! 🤯
