rachelmansmckenny 's review for:
An Orchestra of Minorities
by Chigozie Obioma
I really tried to like this one. I did, but at 30% I put it down and I don't think I'll be picking it back up.
There are some truly lovely things about this book. The point of view of a character's chi is interesting, as is the beautiful interviewing of Igbo and other languages throughout.
But I couldn't get into it. I'm not sure if it was the acts of violence on the part of the main character that made me so distanced from a stake in the story, but something wasn't clicking with me.
I know many people will love this one, but there were too many triggering elements and the plot wasn't engaging enough to keep me reading.
