A review by girlglitch
Rose and the Burma Sky by Rosanna Amaka
4.0
Rose and the Burma Sky is an engaging coming of age novel following young Nigerian soldier Obi during the Second World War. Amaka crafts a simple, but effective story of unrequited love and lost innocence against the backdrop of mid-century colonial power structures.
While I sometimes craved a little more complexity (a subplot or two wouldn't have gone amiss), there is something satisfying about a novel so neat, delivering exactly what you expect it to.
*Thank you to Netgalley for the arc in exchange for an honest review*
