A review by __bluejay
Zikora by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
5.0
This book covered so much in so few pages. I thought it was such a thought-provoking exploration of how we try to contextualise betrayals after they’ve happened.
The questions of, why would they have done that? What were they thinking? How can I feel in control again? How does outside influence change what I consider a betrayal? Who do I blame, and why?
I thought it was such a subtle and brilliant commentary on modern feminism as well. Even the dynamic between herself and her mother!! Gah! So much to read and reread and think about.
I always get the feeling that Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie sees straight through people, it just seems like she can write a character as if she understands them from the inside out.
Absolutely adore the way she writes. Total 5/5 for me.
