A review by manaledi
Dust by Yvonne Adhiambo Owuor

5.0

This book felt almost like a mix of Toni Morrison and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, but that's an oversimplification that's unfair to Owuor's own power as a narrator and command of language. I fully admit that some of the story and Kenyan history and language was lost on me, but I believe it's really important to read books that challenge us. Also, I think I particularly liked this book because it's about a brother, and the strength of sibling relationships, and I love my brother.
