Status Updates From One Leg on Earth

Pemi Aguda usage of imagery is so amazing! I love it she’s so imaginative. I can’t wait to keep reading

Yosoye couldn't find the mold she smelled, and air grudgingly sauntered in through the netting of the single window like it was doing her a favor.

It is a good start to this novel. I read Ghostroots by this author. I truly did like Ghostroots. One Leg on Earth starts with Miriam, a woman who prayed for thirteen years to get pregnant, jumps off the bridge to her death. The next chapter introduces a recent college graduate, Yosoye, who has a first apartment living in Lagos working her first job after college. She wants to shed her shy self.

Gasping in the first three minutes oh I’m hooked
