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!
