Uzo Aduba

My tribe were the primary victims of this wretched war, and like most who have survived the sights of war, they don’t like to talk about it because they are hard, very real memories. I knew pieces of my family’s story during this time, but when I read this book, I felt like I suddenly understood who my parents, aunts, and uncles were and what part of their formative years had entailed.

It’s a powerful, moving, and beautiful novel.  It is not in any way about the life I live, or the world I know.
