Such a heart wrenching story of life and loss. Not only educational but also engaging. This novel taught me a lot about early life in Nigeria as well as the struggles that came with it.
This book was an amazing debut for Ahuruonye, and I look forward to see what is in store for him next.
Would certainly recommend.
This was a very interesting story in writing style that I personally enjoyed very much. I found it especially compelling due to the authentic feel which was well constructed throughout; very believable.
I enjoyed every minute of it..... the entire story came across as honest, intelligent and emotive.
