Great story, we scored it 8/10
Extremely well written. This story about two people that lost love and took different paths in life, finding themselves back in contact after 15 years was truly captivating. I'm not a fan of romance novels but I enjoyed reading this.
It was a lot more conservative than Chimamanda's other works, a lot less visually descriptive but the story flowed and I got to like some of the characters and see my self and my friends in some of them.
This book would appeal to a wider audience than Half of A Yellow Sun. It's less dramatic, with less Igbo words and traditional stories. I'd recommend it to everyone nonetheless.
