An intergenerational diaspora story set in Nigeria and Canada. Featuring Kambirinachi, an ogbanje (a spirit that brings misery to a family by being repeatedly born and dying in childbirth) who rebelled against her nature and defiantly remained alive to love her family; and her twin daughters Taiye and Kehinde, who were close as children but distant as adults. I liked the pace of this story, which moved back and forth in time to explore the trauma behind the characters, and also to let the reader watch their healing, patiently aided by the friends they make along the way. I also liked the role that food played in the story, and the comfort the characters found in both preparing and sharing meals. Great themes in this novel, beautiful writing.
