Under the Udala Trees by Chinelo Okparanta
5.0
"Chidinma and I were both choking under the weight of something larger than us, something heavy and weighty, the weight of tradition and superstition and of all our legends."
A tragically beautiful story about a world that too often would rather see us in pain than be as we are. I felt every part of Ijeoma's despair, and despite such different circumstances I joined in every part of her suffering. There are so many stories like these that deserve to be told. They must be told, or nothing will ever change.
