I read this book for free as an #ARC from #netgalley.
This book is not an easy read. However it is totally worth the effort. I was not familiar with the concept of the ogbanje before I read this book and I know little about the Igbo and broader Nigerian cultures. Yet there was so much that Ada experienced that I could relate to. This story is told from varying viewpoints and the style takes a while to get used to. However I was heavily invested in Ada's story and genuinely cared about what happened to her. I would definitely recommend taking on this challenging story to anyone willing to stretch themselves outside their comfort zone.
