This is an incredibly important and powerful piece of creative non-fiction (at least I think I would categorize it as such).
Told in vignettes, it tells the story of a young girl whose life is destroyed by Boko Haram. In order to tell this story, two authors worked together to interview real victims and used those accounts to create this piece of work.
A heartbreaking book that needs to be read.
