For those of you who have also made it 25 hours of listening into this book: the mosquitos finally make sense

Good riddance Lionel Banda. And when you find out who Isabella’s hit-and-run victim was, you can agree it was justified.

Hats off to narrator Andoh: her ability to code-switch between South African / Zim, American, and British-educated Zambian accents is bang on and so funny 🤣🤩

Things no one asked for: personified mosquitos

Oi! We may have a good egg! Balaji is devoted to his wife and a compassionate girl dad. Huzzah for the mwenye ♥️

You keep hoping that one of the newly introduced little children will turn out hopeful and loving. But how can that be possible with compounding generations of parental neglect

Are all men in this saga casually, cruelly irresponsible? I can’t get over Matha, and her daughter Sylvia’s starting out like another victim 😔

Astronaut training! Okay that was unexpected

Another disabled girl pitied by a young man, whisked away to Zambia, left to languish as a neglected housewife, husband matures to enjoy lording power over her. Ooh wait I wonder what will happen to the girl in the NEXT story 😒

I mean, he did kill his brother for you, what else did you want?
