Of course Adichie is a wonderful writer, especially of characters. In this book there are four women, whose lives we follow during the pandemic and who are spread across the world. I liked the characters and the strength of these women but the story felt a bit loose although the author‘s afterword explained a lot. Not as good as Americanah, a light pick. And the audiobook was good.

BarbaraBB @Amor4Libros I understand. I loved Americanah and this was just okay. I think audio was the way to go for me here, nothing too hard, the story just meandering while I was walking or driving or cycling 😀 6d
squirrelbrain I agree - I thought this was just OK. I think it would have been better on audio - I like an audio that meanders along! 6d
