Yesss, Imbolo Mbue knows what’s up. Peaceful prayers and letter-writing is sometimes not enough, not when you’ve been ground under by someone’s heel, disregard, and poison for decades.

I can’t help but wish that the pacing would be faster.

Still good, but sooo slow.

Her writing is mellifluous; so good.

Getting some Morrison vibes from the writing and I’m not mad about it!
