À propos de cette écoute
Nominated for the Booker Prize 2019.
Shortlisted for the 2019 Women’s Prize for Fiction.
Korede is bitter. How could she not be? Her sister, Ayoola, is many things: the favourite child, the beautiful one, possibly sociopathic. And now Ayoola's third boyfriend in a row is dead.
Korede's practicality is the sisters' saving grace. She knows the best solutions for cleaning blood, the trunk of her car is big enough for a body and she keeps Ayoola from posting pictures of her dinner to Instagram when she should be mourning her 'missing' boyfriend. Not that she gets any credit.
A kind, handsome doctor at the hospital where Korede works is the bright spot in her life. She dreams of the day when he will realise they're perfect for each other. But one day Ayoola shows up to the hospital uninvited and he takes notice. When he asks Korede for Ayoola's phone number, she must reckon with what her sister has become and what she will do about it. Sharp as nails and full of deadpan wit, Oyinkan Braithwaite has written a deliciously deadly debut that's as fun as it is frightening.

mesmerizing
I was transfixed! This book brought so much insight into black culture, African culture, into the dynamics of women, family and sisterhood. If we're to ne made into a film or series, I would definitely watch.

Tour de Force. Will definitely listen again
Opia's wonderful performance brought this story to life. So believable that at times I forgot that this was not a memoir.
The narrator's voice for the main character is rich in emotions while remaining elegantly restrained. The voices for each character are distinct, and the aunties in particular are so well done, I couldn't help but laugh along!
The story is multilayered and intense. Delivered in small doses, the story web is all the better for the bite-sized chapters. The characters are as complex as the story and are entirely human. Braithwaite's writing impressed me and leaves me thinking about these characters, their choices, and what I would have done, in their shoes. Never moralizing, but always probing and pushing further...
Finished within a day--couldn't stop listening! I will definitely listen to this again.
