This book is a very sensory experience, everywhere they go is filled with sights and sounds and smells that just seem to envelop the reader in a warm hug. Even if you don't call Nigeria your home the author does an excellent job of  making it feel like a homey place. The main character is a woman written by a woman and she's so uniquely portrayed and interesting that I couldn't help but fall in love with her myself.
