This is a brilliant book. I felt ashamed after reading it that I knew so little about Biafra. Even better than Purple Hibiscus, the characters are beautifully drawn in a great and moving story.

This book is gorgeously written. The main characters are so believable and intriguing. The book is hugely informative about Nigerian life without being preachy. I couldn't put the book down - I cared so much about the characters, I did not want it to end. Looking forward to reading more of this author's books.
