I‘ve been dying to read some African lit. lately so I picked this one up at my local library. It took me a while, but I have to say, I loved it. This such a complex novel about duty, motherhood and marriage. Above all, it‘s about poverty and the many ways in which women silently suffer more and the burdens rural life places on women. Fulfillment isn‘t always in motherhood. If you‘re looking for a complex, sad story set in Nigeria, this is it.
This novel is the chronicle of one woman‘s search for fulfillment through marriage and children. This was heartbreakingly beautiful. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Getting started on my next selection for my African lit class on this cold night ❄️
That is not an easy read! This book is a punch in the guts that leaves you with the feeling that the World is so much bigger and diferent than you could possibly think! If you can, Get a copy, read It!
This beautiful Brazilian edition from a Brazilian botm blind box is beautiful! The color of the font is the same shade of Green as the cover!
I read this for a paper in college and I really enjoyed it, even though it was not a happy book. It is definitely eye-opening and thought-provoking. While I am not a mother (to humans) I could still identify with a lot of the emotion. Very good!
