Status Updates From Under the Udala Trees

Estoy enojada pero lo entiendo porque era 1979.

Not sure how I feel about this yet. It remains utterly emotionless, the war wasn’t necessary for the story beyond the opening chapter (I still have no idea why it happened), and there was no build up in the relationship between Ijeoma and Amina. Within two short chapters they went from barely talking to a sexual relationship…at age 12. And why is the “grammar school teacher” never given an actual name?

Este es el equivalente a mandar al hijo gay al colegio militar para que se “enderece”.

So far the tone of this is quite flat. The opening few chapters as war breaks out were extremely interesting, but we seem to have already left this issue. And there are SO many Bible verses, which I was not expecting.
