A stunning book.
You are lulled into false security as you get to know the three point of view characters and the world of 1960s Nigeria. And then the first coup happens, and counter coup, massacres, war and starvation.
Beautifully written and brutal. The things people do. The ways people survive... or do not.
The audiobook was excellent.
Well worth your time.
