Abi Daré has weaved magic through a story which is painful and realistic. She has created a character in Adunni I don't think I will ever forget.

The book takes place only over a matter of months but it feels much longer because the way you are pulled into Adunni's life. From the richness of the earth, to the smell of the shit, the feelings of the crowd in Lagos, to the depths of despair and joy, humour and sadness... It hooked me in and took me along as if I was with Adunni every step of the way. Outstanding.
