As the half-and-half child of an English father and a Nigerian mother, Jessamy Harrison just can’t shake off the feeling of being alone. When she is taken to Nigeria, she encounters Titiola, a girl her own age. It seems that Jess has found someone who will understand her. This is a novel about spirits, twins and an extraordinary little girl.
I thought this was quite a good story but that it went on too long. I thought it was quite well written but at times felt like a young adult book. Overall I enjoyed it but would have preferred a shorter, tighter version with more consistently mature writing.
