A review by justlex
Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

4.0

I can’t bring myself to forgive this book after Jaja’s demise. The character I was truly rooting from beginning to end. Thought the ending took the plot in a very different direction it was building itself up to be. I was waiting for Jaja to leave Kambili and go to America. Disappointed the immediate family remained in Nigeria, understandably they had to. Kambili and Father Amadi’s relationship made me uncomfortable. Amaka and Aunty Ifeoma encouraging the relationship made me more uncomfortable. Loved Aunty Ifeoma in all other aspects. 4 stars for audible performance. The narration had the inflection of a 15 year old girl struggling to impress her father but discover life outside her home. Highly recommend.
