I just need 10 minutes with “papa”. he had me wanting to jump into the pages and teach him a lesson or two; and i’m not even a violent person :/  i appreciated kambili’s character development. 

chimamanda is an excellent writer, and i enjoyed this book so much even though i was enraged. i feel like the ending could’ve been expanded a bit more.
