5.0

If someone asked me why I love Chimamanda’s writing I’d probably say this book is the reason (although one can probably say that in relation to any of her books). It is not, in any way, an easy read; the topics are too serious for it to be easy, but it certainly flows. 
It is a masterpiece and a work of art, that should be appreciated and studied.
