bv94 's review for:
Aftershocks
by Nadia Owusu
3.5 stars
This book delves into a state of inability to identify oneself when raised in several countries, parents and step parents of different countries and cultures, rejected and embraced by all. It touches upon a lot of issues like sexual assault, desertion, depression, racism and is quite gut wrenching and poignant. Some of the chapters feel very forced to align with appropriateness of today which are not validated in the author's personality from other chapters. A lot is repetitive and timelines confusing which could have benefitted from good editing. Overall enjoyed reading the book
