Second Class Citizen
An inspirational story of a girl that never gives up, by #BuchiEmecheta who lived much of that experience, raising her five children on her own in a foreign country & becoming a successful author.
Total inspiration and still relevant today.

"... a pioneer among female African writers, championing the rights of girls and women in novels that often drew on her own extraordinary life..."

I've heard good things about The boy from the Sea!
Feb was fab for reading, Small Worlds by #Caleb and Second Class Citizen #BuchiEmecheta were both excellent London novels & for #WIT Far by Rosa Ribas & the new #EowynIvey Black Woods Blue Sky.
When must-read list piles up and you don't know which one to read first because all are priorities. 🤔
