A review by cadyly
War Girls by Tochi Onyebuchi

4.0

This was a lovely, complex book. It has so much to say about sisterhood, war, moral agency, and personal freedom. It's a lot to unpack.

I read it through pretty quickly for the plot, but I will re-read it again to ponder the themes more closely.

There was so much sadness in this book. But - given that it is based on real-world war between Nigeria and the Republic of Biafra - it makes sense in a tragic way.

I am really glad there is a sequel; that ending!
