"The white man's god is just like the white man. He thinks he is the only god instead of Nyame or Chukwu or whoever is because we let him be. We do not fight him. We do not even question him. The white man told us he was the way, and we said yes, but when has the white man ever told us something was good for us and that thing was really good? They say you are an African witch, and so what? So what? Who told them what a witch was?"

This is by far one of the most powerful books I have come across. I am still reading it anyway but Yaa Gyasi is a gifted story teller.

A love story set in deeply conservative northern Nigeria between two unlikely lovers. I absolutely loved this book!!!

Brillant! But then again Achebe is the master

Lovely story about grieving for a lost child and how it changes the family forever. No other book has captured the life and vibrancy of the city of Portharcourt like this book

Beautiful coming of age story! The world through the eyes of a shy young girl

Just got this, about to tuck myself in with warm coffee 😊😊😊
