This was a lovely book!

It was a new take towards Nigerian books since we’re not following a typical middle/upper class Nigerian. Instead, we see the story and learn about Nigeria through the lens of a house girl. We learn about the many problems within Nigeria and despite that, how Adunni didn’t lose faith in herself.

Great book!!!

This was a very nice read, especially for black history month!

I liked that it wasn’t a very dramatic book but rather dealt with the strong problem of performance activism in our society. The characters weren’t one-dimensional and their flaws were portrayed in a very realistic way!

A great book to read in these modern times! :)
