I kept trying to catch her readings when I visited the UK last year but no luck. So I kind of envy those in Nigeria who will get to hear her.
I have never heard of this writer.
anonymous 1: how ignorant!
What's ignorant about it? It's not like she is Buchi Emecheta or Zadie Smith. Give me a break..
Has anyone read the book? What is it like?
It is not a fantastic book. I do not know why she won those awards. I could not finish the novel...so boring.
