Man, what a book. I honestly don’t know how I feel about it… I know I loved the book. The characters. I hated Aunty (Okay hate is a bit much) I just know that I didn’t like her that is for sure. She came out as an overbearing mother who couldn’t let her kids be.
But I felt for Afi in so many ways. All that she had to go through to be chosen. To be loved. To be accepted. I mean, wow! I love how she was portrayed. Yes naive, but she was also smart enough to do good for herself and her family.
Again, as I said, I’m not sure how I feel after finishing this book. It is 10 p.m., and it has me question myself. I mean, what would I have done if I were in Afi’s shoes?
Evelyn… Evelyn reminded me of Evelyn Hugo. She is such a breath of fresh air. So sure about herself. So sure about what is possible and what is not. So sure about what she is ready to put up with and what she is not.
I will stop here for now. Maybe I will come back with more thoughts once I’m sure about how I feel about it. But it is a well-written book. A page-turner. Took me three days to finish it.
I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a heartwarming book (well, not that warming) But is a good read for sure.
Until next time,
Jane 🙂
