LIKE A MULE BRINGING ICE CREAM TO THE SUN by SARAH LADIPO MANYIKA

What a special little book! I’d seen this @cassavarepublicpress book around Bookstagram a lot and the title captivated me so much that I had to go out and buy it. 

The story follows Morayo, a 75 year old woman from Nigeria who has lived all over the world, but now lives in Sam Fran. Over the course of the book, we meet people she interacts with and hear their points of view as well as Morayo’s own. 

Morayo also has a love of books, so that’s always a lovely thing to read about, and she is a cool old lady with great stories and great style. 

It’s a short book, but extremely affecting. Loved.
