Buchi Emecheta's book is rich and touching. Her dedication of the book to all mothers is apt as she shows deep understanding of native traditions and compassionately but strongly handles the issue of 'mothering' children in a Nigerian household. Her characters are well formed, realistic too. I just kept turning pages till I reached the sad end. It's a magnificent book, an entertaining read.

I'm sorry I took such a long break. I needed to, there was so much pressure to perform(i'm not referring to blogging). I'm back now, and hopefully I haven't lost it.
