Under the Udala Trees | Chinelo Okparanta

Pickpick

A bittersweet look at coming of age as a lesbian woman in a country where homosexuals face the risk of imprisonment or being murdered by mob violence. Okparanta does a good job of showing the inner lives and communal relationships of those who shape Ijeoma‘s life.

I've decided that my #NutsInMay book will be one by a favorite author. I've had this on my shelf for a while, and only recently realized I haven't actually read it. What a lovely surprise! My goal is to get most of the way through a book that's been on my shelf for 5+ years. #readingchallenge #readathon #fantasy #lgbt #lgbtq #lgbtbook

Andrew65 Great to have you with us. Good luck with this target. 😊👍 4y
Maria514626 Yes to the TBR shelf! 😁 4y
Kenyazero @Andrew65 Thanks, and thank you for starting this readathon! 4y
Kenyazero @Maria514626 Yes indeed! I frequently read books I don't own, but am fairly confident that I've only read 75% of what's on my own shelves 🤔 4y

I picked this up in a book store a while back and thought it looked like an interesting resource for someone like me who has no easy descriptors for her sexuality. It's given me some ideas, and some things to think about. I'm still working on it, but I've learned a lot about other sexualities and identieis in the meantime! The writing was highly accessible. #lgbt #lgbtq #lgbtbook #queerbook 🖤🤍💜

I didn‘t read the description before diving in, so I didn‘t expect the levels of teen angst, innovation, grief, and trauma in this book. This was the kind of book I couldn‘t listen to with my husband because of the overlaps with his own trauma. Great read. #grief #trauma #lgbtcharacter #foodtruck #lgbtbook

I enjoyed this read. It was fun to see the characters grow and observe one another's growth. I had a few spots where I didn't quite believe either the story itself or the characters' actions. #lgbt #lgbtq #queerbook #lgbtbook #lgbtliterature #battletactics #secreridentity #lgbtcharacter

Lord John tries to quietly investigate the death of a fellow soldier who may have been involved in treason. He‘s also trying to prevent his cousin from entering a disastrous marriage, and grieving the loss of his lover, Horace. Good characters, and slow but steady pacing.

Cyril, will take you on a journey about growing up living in a society that hates his sexuality, and trying to fit in with the ‘norms.‘ let me tell ya this book gave me all the feels. the way this is written you feel you are growing up with him, reading his dairy, seeing through his eyes, facing his struggles, feeling his pain.
So beautiful written I could not put this one down I laughed and I cried and I loved. #bibliophile #lgbtbook #review
