This book is far from what I expected it to be, which was a singular journey for Kirabo to find her mother. It was more centered around other relationships and culture. The storyline was confusing for me, but it really wrapped up in the end. I learned much about different perspectives from mine, about time and land and storytelling. This book made me think and receive, it’s nice to experience something different from literature than what I’m used to.
