Adichie is such a masterful writer. The depth and detail in her writing and characters is so good. I really enjoyed the first half of this book and then it kind of dropped off for me. I think it was when it took a dive into the deeper bits, I started to feel the weight of it. It did teach me about the history of Nigeria, which I enjoyed. Overall, another great book, but for me, it did not compare to Purple Hibiscus or Americannah.
