Without spoiling it for others, it just retells the story of a young girl who at 18, in Banjul, and a virgin liking a few boys make decisions that will alter her life. The author presents 3 scenaris that are very realistic of African society. Chimamanda Ngozi Achebe is a great author. Pettina Gappah (?) is another noteworthy one.

So far, I've only read Chimamanda ngozi Adichie (she's amazing), Chinua achebe... It's sad, as being an African writer, those are the books I should be reading. I love what you're doing with your blog though! I feel cut off from the African culture sometimes, and I enjoy reading about my people, what's happening in african fashion, music, literature...Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17560792887092067080noreply@blogger.com
