Fuuuucccckkk the patriarchy.

"I wish I were out of doors - I wish I were a girl again, half savage and hardy, and free . . . and laughing at injuries, not maddening under them! Why am I so changed? why does my blood rush into a hell of tumult at a few words?" - oof

Wow! I usually don't post mid-book updates (or reviews at all for that matter), but this book has completely blown me away so far. I am listening to this on audiobook, and I cannot speak more highly of how beautiful and poetic Bernadine Evaristo's writing is.

I felt the preface, Introduction, and the first chapter were pretty dense and therefore hard to get through with respect to the writing style, not the content alone. Now that I’m past the first chapter, though, I’m finding it difficult to put the book down. I’m reading the book in 20-30 page segments on a schedule created by my school.
