5.0

This is such a beautifully written book, one you luxuriate in and savour for every word, sentence and page. 

I absolutely loved the characters and the way their stories intertwined. I loved their complex relationships with each other and themselves, and the secondary characters were brilliant.

This was such a beautiful read. The author crafted these characters and their relationships so beautifully. The only thing keeping me from 5 stars is that I felt the narrative was slightly skewed toward focusing on Taiye, and although her story was really interesting, I would've liked some more details about Kambirinachi's adult life and Kehinde's young adulthood.

Spoiler

As such, Kambirinachi's ending felt so sudden. She JUST reconciled with her daughters and IMMEDIATELY wants to die??? Huh???
