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.

Ekwuyasi is an incredible writer, on top of that. Her lyrical prose will draw you in, and her food descriptions in particular will leave you hungry. Seriously, try not to read this book on an empty stomach.
