A review by gigiinzim
That Hair by Djaimilia Pereira de Almeida

5.0

This beautiful story shares the experience of a young woman both Portuguese and Angolan. Not fully European nor fully African. Her writing style is both breathtakingly descriptive, This book is wonderfully translated. As this is a story of identity and we are all left having a deeper understanding of the importance hair has on identity around the world. This is also a story that tackles politics, history, family and love.

This book is well written and will draw in any reader leaving them wishing the book were longer.

The publisher made a copy of this book available through Netgalley. The opinion and thoughts here are my honest review.
