What a ride!  I just finished the book (couldn't put it down at the end there!) and kind of want to go back and re-read it knowing what I learned. The book is super evocative, the pace is quick, and I loved the interplay of Nigerian mythology and magical realism.

The audiobook is narrated by Precious Mustapha and Tara Tijani.  They really bring the book to life with their unique narration styles. Just a heads up if you are reading the book and the auidobook together: the chapters do not match!
