The Arrangements by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

3.0

Ever wondered what life might be like for Melania Trump? Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has a way with words and her imaginary day in the life of Melania is delightful. Political figures seemingly so familiar to us through their portrayal in the media, or in the Trump family's case the demonisation, are given a fresh breath of air. It's easy to forget politicians are human; let alone remember that their spouses and children have their own lives and needs. And they're not above family drama.
It's still beyond me why anybody would choose to share their lives with Donald (there are other outrageously wealthy men out there with less misogynistic/racist etc. personalities). For Melania, the benefits outweigh the downsides of such an arrangement.
