Stay with Me by Ayọ̀bámi Adébáyọ̀
4.0
A book group read, and it generated a lot of discussion about all of the characters and how we each viewed them. Not every book does that.
This is definitely not a feel-good book, but it looks at a culture unfamiliar to me from the inside, which underscored how much human beings are really alike, beneath their differences.
There are a few occasions where the narrator shifts and it takes a few moments to realize whose head you're in now.
SPOILER ALERT: While the sadness is thick enough to cut, you get a moment of hope at the end.
