Girl: A Novel | Edna O'Brien

Pickpick

This is the story of the abducted Nigerian school girls in 2014. Insurgents disguised as soldiers break into the school to loot it. Finding no guns or supplies, they decide that “Girls will do”.. this shock sets the tone for the terrifying story of Maryam, “bush wife”, a reward, for one of the fighters. Best read of the year! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Edna O‘Brien knows how to write about women, no matter the time, place or culture.

Frannie is a slave on a Jamaican plantation named “Paradise” (a horrifying place) when the book opens she‘s been arrested for murders she can‘t remember committing. If that reminds you of Margaret Atwood‘s “Alias Grace” there is no comparison!

The author narrates in perfect patois. Great in audio!
