I read this July 2017 for the Regency Book Club
I have read this before, but I enjoyed it more the second time around. The book is narrated by the daughter of an abusive (Physically and verbally) father in Nigeria. The status of women and children is such that they cannot run away. The father is all powerful within the family and a very powerful, rich man who is generous to the community.
The children (the narrator and her older brother) taste real family life and freedom when they stay with an Aunt who is a University lecturer.
A moving and compelling book , I am happy to have reread this
