Reviewed by Lena SchalentierIch hatte was ganz anderes erwartet (eher sowas wie You Made A Fool Of Death With Your Beauty), dementsprechend war ich auf eher seichte Lektüre eingestellt und wurde mit hartem Tobak überrascht. Es wird ein Nigeria gezeichnet, dass durch alle Charaktere und Schichten hindurch rotten ist und trotzdem menschlich und zart. Ich weiß nicht so ganz, was ich aus diesem Roman machen soll, aber ich konnte es auch nicht unfertig zur Seite legen.
