Book Review |

| (by- Andrea ) |
I absolutely loved this book! It is both sad and humorous at times as it tackles complex topics. It's one of those books that captures your heart, and you can't stop thinking about it.
This is Dare's debut novel, and she delivers a stunning portrayal of life in rural Logos for young girls and the limitations they face. Their voices are seldom heard, education is not the norm, and they are often treated unjustly and less than others.
Adunni is a poor 14-year-old Nigerian girl who works as a housemaid for a wealthy family in Logos. Her employers are cruel and unfeeling and treat her terribly. Yet, she preservers even under the most challenging circumstances. She is determined to escape this terrible situation and attend school to make a better life for herself.
This book would make an excellent Book Club book and will stay with you for some time.
