How Beautiful We Were by Imbolo Mbue

4.0

This book covers so many important themes, especially for those of us working in the international development space. It is beautifully written, covering the vantage points of different generations and family members in the community over time, and follows the village’s sustained, bloody, and heart wrenching fight against oil giants. While a bit slower paced than her first novel, I still really enjoyed it and would highly recommend.
