tinathedrifter's review against another edition

dark sad medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated

5.0

Iweala put so much detail into Agu’s voice and thoughts over the course of this novel. It made me love him as if he were a friend recounting his stories to me.
