5.0

This was a beautiful read by Adiche. The author’s prose is elegant and to the point. The juxtaposition between a man who caring and generous to his community but who neglects to care for his family creates an angry yet somber tone for the book. This novel was so reflective for me and definitely changed how I view the world. I absolutely loved this story.
