Found the first 2/3 hard going but obviously the redemption at the end lightens it.
Funny, sad, inspiring, and beautifully written. ❤️
I'm not sure how this book "reads" since I listened to it, but I think it's probably better suited to an audiobook format. I say that because the protagonist is a young (14 yo) Nigerian girl, so the entire book is written using atypical syntax and grammar (as you might infer from the title). The person who performed it had a beautiful accent that really made it come to life.
This book was (for me) about two things: 1) The unstoppable spirit of a spunky girl who dreamed of learning, and 2) How shitty the culture is for women in Nigeria. It's definitely worth reading.
