a beautiful read, like the rest of Adichie's works, as a debut I felt it was a compelling read, where this compellingness develops in her later works like Half of a yellow Sun and Americanah - characters are fleshed out and plot and characters are well constructed. Not to say this read wasn't. It was a very satisfying read in a sense.
