When they are sent to stay with their aunt and cousins, they see for the first time what it would be like to live where there is laughter, debate, and spontaneity. Their relationship with God is also transformed.

My stomach would twist when I would see the strangling way that Kambili lived, how her father twisted faith so hard that it squeezed the life out of the believers. I felt gratitude that she and her brother had family that showed them what life was really about. That there was more to it than just being the best student, the best Christian, the best child.

The author has a way with words that made me feel like I was experiencing things along with Kambili. I could feel the oppressive Nigerian heat in the small flat her aunt lived in. I could see the beauty in the purple hibiscus her brother planted. And I could feel the turbulent ache of first love.

I would recommend this book to anyone who loves fiction that challenges them, takes them to places they may not recognize, and lets them walk in the gray area between right and wrong. If you love a good story, love to see characters develop, grow, and shed their prejudices, then this book is for you.

I'm a wife, mother, child of God, kisser of boo-boos, washer of socks, saver of pennies, and writer. I love all things family and home and like nothing more than sharing inspiration with other moms who feel the same.
