What a story. What stories and how beautifully woven in the folklore of Africa.
The whole question of identity and belonging and yearning.
What happens when a love that is outlawed actually was one that had gotten spoilt before it was unacceptable?

Hideously boring and overly stylized in a way I found unrealistic and grating.

A thoughtful, well researched novel with sprinkles of folklore and a lot of history and character, written like poetry.
