What Members Thought
This is a lively, engaging story of a young woman who grows up shortly after the Biafran conflict. She gradually comes to question many of the "givens" of gender roles and political life in Nigeria and moves from passive acceptance and fear to activism. I got caught up in the story and the rich, vivid writing. Highly recommend this.
