5.0 out of 5 stars Best book of the year
This incredible novel brings alive fictional characters that become kind of part of your life during the time you read the book. Women that are seen as pretty wall-flowers, quiet and always smiling find their force and inner voice despite what others think of them..not very different from our days even though this wonderful book is set in the start of World Word I in Nigeria so you don't just get to enjoy the fiction but also to learn about the history at the time! A must read with fantastic descriptions which would make an amazing movie!! Highly recommend if you love fiction, and history is a plus
5.0 out of 5 stars A powerful, compelling novel.
I loved this beautifully written debut novel by Foluso Agbaje. I was captivated by the story of Kehinde, a young woman who had to fight to find herself and follow her dreams in spite of all the curved balls that life and societal norms threw at her. I followed the story avidly, routing for Kehinde all the way and wishing the story could continue even when I got to the end of the book. I'm really hoping there will be a sequel to this compelling novel. Well done Foluso Agbaje!!
5.0 out of 5 stars Life in Lagos during World War 2
Loved it!!! The descriptions of old Lagos, the life style then, good old Eko!!
5.0 out of 5 stars Totally unique perspective
I really enjoyed reading this. I’d never thought about the influence of the World Wars on pre-colonial Nigeria. The author managed to capture and portray immense emotion, depth and truth. I was sorry to finish this book. Hoping for a sequel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Historical fiction based in Lagos at the time of WW2
Loved the characters! It’s a lovely way to learn about what was happening at the time of WW2 from the perspective of people living in a country not directly involved in the conflict but pulled in through its ties to colonial government abroad!On top of that, lots of nuggets of Nigerian culture in there. This is one for the top shelf
