Refreshing. I love the contrast in characters that Adichie uses. This book reflects a side of Nigeria most people aren't aware of because their so hooked on the "poverty" in many African countries. An absolute read for anyone whom wants to stray away from the "12 years a slave" fever.

Much more than i expected, this book dives into issues deeper than just domestic abuse, I never wanted it to end

Love it! Will always recommend. The writing is pure and gentle that the story doesn't read as tragic as it really is. Read it in high school for literature and it has always stayed with me
