So far, I’ve not liked the first protagonist. All I can say is that I pity her. But she doesn’t particularly engage me as a compelling subject, which is a shame, because I find it can take me out of what seems to be below the surface? Or am I reading into it something that’s not quite there?

Sometimes I’ve found the dialogue clunky and a touch polemic, which is odd; Adichie is clearly a very talented writer.
