A review by usikholor
The Bead Collector by Sefi Atta

5.0

Remi Lawal’s relationships are very intriguing.
Her life generally gives you some food for thought especially when it comes to being a wife and mother in those times.
I relate to how Remi could be very friendly. Her friendship with Frances Cooke is also an integral part of this story. However, her husband believing that Frances was a spy is something I find very laughable.
This is the first of Sefi Atta’s books I’m reading and I’m really looking forward to reading more.
I like the anecdotal references in the story and I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
