On Black Sisters Street by Chika Unigwe

emotional sad

• Diverse cast of characters? Yes

3.0

this is a deeply painful examination of how four African women were trafficked into prostitution in Belgium, with a focus on the circumstances that led to them being in a position of little choice. through the sharing of their stories with one another, they lean into the power of friendships between women, of owning your own narrative, and how hope can carry us through 

the content is profound and this could have easily been a 5✨ if the writing had been more focused on leading me through the story, instead of telling me directly. i wasn’t emotionally connected to the characters or the storyline
