Watson's storytelling is clever and breathtaking. The pace that the plot unfurls is sensitive and masterful. I was completely gripped as Blessing, the main protagonist faced realisations about her life and family - a pivotal, highly emotive, beautiful point in the book.
Her characterisation is superb, I really connected with all the characters and was deeply moved by their stories.
Watson highlights the issues of Nigeria boldly and impressively yet weaves them masterfully into the lives of her characters leading the reader to care deeply about the people and the country.
A great read - I loved it.

I read this book a little while ago so my review will be very short. It is also hard for me to review a short story collection. I did enjoy this book because it is historical fiction. The stories draw you in and you can feel what each character is going through. There are two stories that deals with Chinese immigrants and what they go through and how they are treated.
My favorite story is about an Irish immigrant who becomes a teacher. I love that her family was very supportive and how the young man who is interested in her helps her out also even though she doesn't give him the light of day.
I would recommend this book for you read.
