## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Certainly she was a feminist. Enjoyed reading.
  

*by K***E on Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2017*

I'm surprised Emecheta ever said she didn't want to be called a feminist!!. This book shows that's exactly what she was. I appreciate her introspection though, for at the time this book was first published in 1977, very few Ibo women could dare to think of themselves as people who deserved better than the life of subjugation their customs and culture subjected them to. Buchi was a bold woman. Good read as usual.

    Had never heard of this book before...
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2016*

My daughter had to read this for school... so being the crazy parent who enjoys reading, I read it as well (because I read all the books my kids have to read). I really enjoyed it. Well written and descriptive it paints a detailed picture of the girls life from loved child, to orphan, to slave, woman and freedom. Worth the read. Not a long book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Wonderful learning experience
  

*by O***A on Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2009*

This novel offers a more accurate narrative of African Identity. It charts the journey of a young girl from slavery to freedom, but more importantly it refutes a Western Fairytale ending. Instead the novel inserts its reader into the Igbo way of thinking and living, and their terms of a happy ending. I enjoyed this novel tremendously. It is a good read.
