Oil on Water by Helon Habila

slow-paced

2.25

This was one of the required readings for my Contemporary Fiction course... it would never be a story that I would pick up just for my own enjoyment. It was a pretty easy read but I found the story extremely dull and I never was fully invested in the story. Also I struggled a lot with the way the author formatted the dialogue, at times it was very hard to know who was speaking or when it would shift to another character's voice.
