I loved the characters and plot of the story. I do wish the book was bit longer and I would love to see this book turned into some kind of movie. ( ) A coming of age story of a Kenyan girl who finds herself once she moves to the US for university. Themes of molestation, racism, finding your self and finding your voice are all prevalent in this thought provoking novel. I enjoyed the different perspectives given throughout which lent to a well rounded story. Definitely a worthwhile read. *I received an arc from the publisher through NetGalley for an honest review Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
"Soila is a lucky girl by anyone's estimation. Raised by her stern, conservative mother and a chorus of aunts, she has lived a life of privilege in Nairobi. Soila is headstrong and outspoken, and she chafes against her mother's strict rules. After a harrowing assault by a trusted family friend, she flees to New York for college, vowing never to return home. New York is not what she imagined it would be. Instead of a golden land of opportunity, Soila finds herself shocked by the entitlement of her wealthy American classmates and the poverty she sees in the streets. She befriends a Black American girl at school and witnesses the acts of racism her friend endures, forcing Soila to acknowledge the legacy of slavery and the blind spots afforded by the privilege of her Kenyan upbringing. When she falls in love with a free-spirited artist, a man her mother would never approve of, she must decide whether to honor her Kenyan identity and what she owes to her family, or to follow her heart and forge a life of her own design"-- No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
