Really riveting book that questions life and what matters. I really liked the settings and the dual timeline this mixed with strong characters made it an interesting book. I found at times it was little hard going but other than I that it was strong 3.5 stars

Set in 1960s, in Lagos and in 2005, in Lagos and Atlanta, we follow Margaret, and Benjamin’s intertwined lives.
Margaret is a complex and lovely character who is carrying the burden of many people in her life - especially those who came before her.

what worked for me
characterisation - the ancestors, and Margaret were well fleshed out.
the themes of tradition vs modern life, mental health vs the supernatural, the interplay and the clash between supernatural and beliefs and Christianity, colonialism

3.5 stars rounded up.
