A review by litgirlliv
A Spell of Good Things by Ayọ̀bámi Adébáyọ̀

3.5

Overall, I enjoyed the text, but certainly prefer the authorship of her first novel, Stay With Me. This text strikes me as Ousmane Sembene - Nollywood mash up. That is, it is ripe with social commentary, but also lacking in innovation and delivery.  It carries a lot of cliches. The ending did not come together for me. And one of the principal characters Wuraola seemed a bit thrown together.
