Mehso-so

I have mixed feelings. The story kept me going, wanting to find out what happened next. It had a lot of drama! I also enjoyed reading a book set in Ghanaian culture. But for me personally I didn‘t like the main character, which was a big barrier. Sometimes she was so submissive and then other times she was so stubborn. I just didn‘t connect with her. I think it was supposed to show her transformation, but to me it just came off as inconsistent.

The Magic of Ordinary Days | Ann Howard Creel

“The Magic of Ordinary Days” movie was my comfort watch for years, but I‘ve never noticed it was a book.
I decided to read it now because we just drove through southern Colorado. Also Camp Amache recently became National Historic Site. I really enjoyed the book. Historical context was fascinating. I loved the romantic story line as well, but I felt it wrapped up a little too quick . The book is darker than the movie, but there‘s beauty in that.

This book was good, but also sad. I felt for all of the women (except maybe Aunty.) I loved the peek into life in #Ghana

This afternoon I made spicy jollof rice with chicken while I listened to the end of this audiobook. I had sympathy for most of the women at some point during the story. I could believe in the beginning that Afi was naive enough to think her situation would change, and in the later part, I appreciated her determination to not just go along with the family‘s expectations. This was absolutely a different cultural experience for me to read about.

Texreader That dish sounds good. Ghana is definitely a different world. 10mo
Daisey @Texreader I had a hard time finding a recipe for Ghana with easily accessible ingredients that also sounded like something I would like, but this turned out great. 10mo

Luthien and I took a longer walk again today and I started listening to this audiobook. I‘m intrigued so far, but can‘t say I‘m optimistic about how the story is going to go for the main character.

“Naila, I wish you didn‘t have to miss the game,” Carla tells me.
“Game?” I check the road, on the lookout for my mom, before turning to her. She rolls her eyes, her blond hair up in its cheerleader ponytail.
