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.
