A book with a lot to take in and think about.

My favorite part was the narrative structure and language use in the story as well as the portrayal of Igbo culture as rich, beautiful, and complex as opposed to the typical western portrayal of African culture as primitive.

A rollercoaster of a read. Definitely worth everyone’s time
