The Private Joys of Nnenna Maloney by Okechukwu Nzelu

3.0

This was a quick and engrossing read. I can see what the author was trying to do but for me it fell flat as I found the dialogue unrealistic - I think it could have been powerful if the character’s chose to say things without saying them explicitly. There was a lot of ‘telling’ and it took me out of the world a bit. Still glad I read it and it was interesting seeing all the Manchester references, though for me it is a city that is beginning to feel hollow.
