This book is an absolute whirlwind. Complicated, morally grey characters, the backdrop of war and genocide, the constant flurry of emotions. I really, really enjoyed it, and it shed so much light on a dark piece of history that the western world prefers to ignore. Adichie's beautiful writing is a plus as well
