Adichie’s characters feel luminous thanks to her deeply emotive and detailed storytelling. There is a lot of detail in her writing, but it never feels tedious or pedantic. Completely immersive. Very tender and beautiful until the story reached its point of conflict and her talent for evoking human emotions is displayed in another, opposite way that is difficult for me to sit with.
