Amazing, beautiful and unpredictable! This tale of a young girl with split personality is embroidered artfully and brought home with ancient Yoruba beliefs about twins and the mystery surrounding the surviving twin. For a debut novel, I'm impressed. Helen is a writer to be watched. She went back to her ethnic roots and tailored her native beliefs to this tale, making her story more beguiling, more Nigerian.

Hi Osondu,
ReplyDeleteLovely review.
With the way you write, I'm convinced that the writer of "the great Nigeria" novel is here with us. No, it's not flattery.
... and thanks for blogrolling me.
I'll let you know when I update.
Hi osondu, thanks for you kind comments on mine. I like your space here.
ReplyDeleteHa.. have read the Ogbanje book. Incredible for a 19 yr old at the time.. Although my friends have loads of unflattering views about its Nigerian-ness
Lets see what you make of Arundhati Roy's.
Hey dude,
ReplyDeleteWhere are you?
Hey Aloofar,
ReplyDeleteI'm really busy with second semester exams that's why I haven't posted anything in close to a month. Please bear with me. I'll be through very soon...
Thanks for your concern.
