I feel a bit blasphemous considering what an important figure Flora Nwapa is in Nigerian and international literature but this book suffers from story inconsistencies and lack of editing🙁. I haven‘t given up on Nwapa completely, though. A novel titled Efuru is what put her in the map in 1966; and I haven‘t read that. #nigerianwomenwriters
