Beyond Babylon by Igiaba Scego

reflective slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

Lots of meditative, melancholy women in this book, which normally is 100% my thing, but I had a really hard time connecting with these characters. The writing is gorgeous and the descriptions are lush, but I never felt like I was fully engrossed.
