This book is so confusing in such a good way. Okojie's prose is beautiful! I mean, drop dead gorgeous! Her reckoning with a modern London and historical Benin is brilliant, and her expert weaving of magical realism into the story is so well done. A startling, sad, frightening, humorous, and tumultuous tale--certainly an epic in its own right.
