À propos de cet audio

 BOOKER PRIZE NOMINEE • A NEW YORKER AND NPR BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR • GMA BUZZ PICK • A dazzling story of modern Nigeria and two families caught in the riptides of wealth, power, romantic obsession, and political corruption from the celebrated author of Stay with Me, "in the lineage of great works by Chinua Achebe and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie" (The New York Times).

Eniola is tall for his age, a boy who looks like a man. Because his father has lost his job, Eniola spends his days running errands for the local tailor, collecting newspapers, begging when he must, dreaming of a big future.

Wuraola is a golden girl, the perfect child of a wealthy family. Now an exhausted young doctor in her first year of practice, she is beloved by Kunle, the volatile son of an ascendant politician.

When a local politician takes an interest in Eniola and sudden violence shatters a family party, Wuraola's and Eniola’s lives become intertwined. In her breathtaking second novel, Ayọ̀bámi Adébáyọ̀ shines her light on Nigeria, on the gaping divide between the haves and the have-nots, and the shared humanity that lives in between.

I like the book and I liked the story. both of the narrators were great, although at first there is a difference in audio quality between the two narrators but I got used to that as the story went on. I also felt like the story unfolded a bit too quickly at the end, but maybe that is just because the author did not take the plot into the direction that I was expecting.

The story unfolded too quickly at the end.

I absolutely LOVED everything about this book. The story is very relatable, funny and sad at the same time. I was hooked from the first chapter to the last! The portrayal of issues like poverty and depression is stellar! And do not get me started on the narrators! They have done an exemplary job bringing this book to life!

I can barely wait for Ayobami's next book!

Amazing Read!

Beautifully written but there was no spell of good things. I kept hoping for a happy ending but there was none. I wish we got more closure but it is what it is
