Short story. And available for free with Prime Reading.
"Did it never end?" — this is a line the protagonist asks herself after she's given birth to her child and is now about to be sewed up. And it's this very journey, of dealing one thing after the other on her own that seems to help her reconstruct the reality of her parents' marriage and her relationship with her disciplinarian mother.
This is my second read by Chimamanda Adichie. And I absolutely loved it.
