This was nothing to write home about, but it was enjoyable enough as a quick listen while completing chores. It was a bit ridiculous and the romance was definitely quick and forced, but that said, I liked it enough to listen to the next one when it comes in from the library.
I don‘t have a good name for what‘s overtaken me. Perhaps . . . yearning?
so-soI have mixed feelings. The story kept me going, wanting to find out what happened next. It had a lot of drama! I also enjoyed reading a book set in Ghanaian culture. But for me personally I didn‘t like the main character, which was a big barrier. Sometimes she was so submissive and then other times she was so stubborn. I just didn‘t connect with her. I think it was supposed to show her transformation, but to me it just came off as inconsistent.
pick“The Magic of Ordinary Days” movie was my comfort watch for years, but I‘ve never noticed it was a book.
I decided to read it now because we just drove through southern Colorado. Also Camp Amache recently became National Historic Site. I really enjoyed the book. Historical context was fascinating. I loved the romantic story line as well, but I felt it wrapped up a little too quick . The book is darker than the movie, but there‘s beauty in that.

1. 2008. I had my house built that year and I‘m still in it.
2. His Only Wife (tagged). The main character moves from America to Ghana.
pickThis book was good, but also sad. I felt for all of the women (except maybe Aunty.) I loved the peek into life in #Ghana
