So Long a Letter by Mariama Bâ
3.5
medium-paced

a long reflection on the main characters family life, mainly focusing on her relationship with her husband and herself. I have very little knowledge on Senegal, so it was very interesting to explore daily life like this. I think the fact that i read this digitally was to my detriment though - there's a lot of footnotes that I'd have liked to flick through while reading. I liked the characters voice, very soothing.
