A review by kofoworola
Pleasantview by Celeste Mohammed

4.0

This novel in stories illuminates the complicated lives of several characters living in and around Pleasantview. These stories unite to create an intricate portrait of characters trapped in their own circumstances, hoping for a chance at happiness but finding only despair.

The author was amazing at creating a story that speaks to many kinds of people. The corruption, selfishness, debauchery, and questionable clergy people reminded me much of Nigeria.

The stories made me sad, but I still couldn't put down the book. A great read.
