Ik vond dit een goed boek. Ik had er iets anders van verwacht maar ben aangenaam verrast. Het trage tempo gaf me het gevoel dat ik daar was onder de warme zon wanneer alles zo sloom wordt. Ik hou van boeken die me compleet doen meevoelen met de personages. Het verlangen van Kambili naar de pastoor kwam echt binnen. Die moeilijke mengeling van verdriet, woede en liefde voor een ouder die ‘abusive’ is

4.0

A beautifully written and touching story about family ties, culture and adolescence. I felt for Kambili in her mixed feelings toward her abusive father. The ending has a twist but is somewhat predictable, although this does not take away from its quality. At times I was confused where the story was going, but it didn’t take me out of the narrative.
