Omo! I thought I was angry when I read Tomorrow I Become a Woman; I thought women were suffering when I’d read The Joys of Motherhood; the way that suffering took on new layers in this book was MAD!
I was just laughing as a way to deal tbh and props to the author for the satirical tone she used for the narration.
I also appreciated how the sweet and exciting traditional practices of Cameroonian Fulani weddings are still highlighted despite the sad reality of force’s marriages and forced polygamy that’s the main theme of this work.
