It was a good read and I happen to think that this book had one of the most idyllic endings, given the nature of Soila’s mother’s nemesis, and I loved it for them.
Soila’s path on her journey to independence, was more complicated than it needed to be, but what memorable character is without their own problems?
That said, I cringed every time Soila said things like ‘the African sun’ or “African drums’, and every other time she made some generalized statement about Africans.
