This book was brilliant. This is my fourth book by the author and they continue to amaze me every time. The writing is stunning and unique, and the story is fascinating and heart breaking. As an atheist who is not very knowledgeable on this type of spirituality, there were definitely times that I was a little confused or disconnected when the spiritual parts really ramped up. I was looking at some reviews after reading and I came across some people saying that Emezi themselves identifies as ogbanje, which explains and adds so much to the story! I would love to read Emezi’s memoir and then come back and reread this one, I can definitely see this becoming an all time favorite.
