i love chimamanda and this being her 3rd book i’ve read of hers: what i really love is the way that she fleshes out characters who are human and must themselves contend with the blatant contradictions that are apparent as a result of british colonialism in nigeria— race, gender, sexuality, violence, religion etc. the one thing that i do find myself wanting is that same exploration of class and wealth (p1)
