Dieses Buch ist einfach nur ehrlich. Viele Erlebnisse von Ife haben mich einfach so getroffen, weil sie mir auch passiert sind und ich sie einfach nur als normal abgetan hab. Ich habe aus diesem fiction-buch mehr gelernt als aus manchem non-fiction Buch. Mein einziger Kritikpunkt: die Ăbersetzung. Ich empfehle allen, die Interesse an dem Buch haben und Englisch können, die Originalversion. Man merkt einfach, dass die Ăbersetzung ins Deutsche (und das meine ich ĂŒberhaupt nicht als Beleidigung) von einer WeiĂen geschrieben wurde. Das fĂ€nde ich auch sonst gar nicht schlimm und ich bin mir sicher die Ăbersetzerin hat sich MĂŒhe gegeben, aber bei vielen Dingen hat ihr das Detailwissen und der Wortschatz gefehlt und vor allem bei vielen der Themen hĂ€tte ich es wichtig gefunden wenn zumindest eine Afrodeutsche hinzugezogen worden wĂ€re. Ich bin mir sicher Anette Grube ist eine gute Ăbersetzerin, aber bei diesem Projekt konnte sie nicht so wirklich glĂ€nzen. Ich wĂŒrde mir wĂŒnschen, dass Verlage endlich auf sowas achten.

This book says SO so many things about a myriad of different topics. Unfortunately I couldnât even begin to address every single one. So Iâll choose 3:
1. Obviously there is somewhat of an overarching plotline, but much of the book is our protagonist(s) getting through life. Usually I donât like books that just âfollowâ someone for lack of a better word, but Adichie instills such reality into every character that no person is boring because I as a reader can believe there really is more to them. I also love that there were no unrealistic âI can explainâ moments, even when Adichie had ample opportunity to do so.
2. Thank you, Chimamanda for recognizing how ludicrous academic discourse can sound.
3. And lastly, I was tensed up all the way until the FINAL line. Those last chapters played with my heart TOO much!
Either way, most definitely a 8/10 at LEAST.
