Convoluted,, vulgar, couldn't stay focused on it. Gave up. I wouldn't recommend it. Maybe others would like it but not me.

I loved this book. If there was a drawback it was that it was so long as to be hard to get finished. Still, the story was poignant and the narration (Adjoa Andoh) was admirable. Naturally when you give one voice so many voices to do there will be disappointments but when she did the voice of Dorothy (Dolly) she did it with conviction and insight and sympathy. I'm a little skeptical that a single person in her circumstances could have amassed that kind of fortune, but then I wasn't there. It is a saga...stay with it.

Interesting setting... new plot with people easy to identify with. The reader was excellent. I really liked this fresh, well thought out "story". I look forward to reading more of her work.

Loved this book. Insightful, sympathetic and touching. It's a sometimes funny but always thoroughly engaging story.

Trevor Noah, Born A Crime

Overall
5 out of 5 stars

Reviewed: 03-06-19

He's quite a writer! I was right there with him every step of the way. I was impressed not only by the narrative, but how he was able to step back and analyse every situation and find reasons for every action that made you sympathetic and understanding. I don't think a writer has ever done that for me before. He made me see things from an unfamiliar angle and some of it was quite uncomfortable. I had very mixed feelings about how it ended....maybe not a good reflection on me.
