Note: I accessed a digital review copy of this book through Edelweiss. A domestic drama/soap opera set in Lagos, Nigeria. At the center of this book is an evil man -- rapist, homophobe, fraud, hypocrite -- who gets off too easy in the end, with most of his tiny comeuppance happening "off screen" as it were. So even if parts of the book are engaging, it is not worth wading through all the rape, homophobia, and a suicide. The art is mediocre with some characters barely looking the same from panel to panel. The writing makes use of a lot of African dialect and Pidgin English that was occasionally difficult for me to follow. It's also choppy and seemed to frequently skip over important moments. This reminds me of the much better Aya of Yop City series by Marguerite Abouet and Clément Oubrerie. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
"On the noisy Ajayi Crowther Street in Lagos, neighbors gather to gossip, discuss noise complaints, and faithfully head to church each Sunday. But beneath the surface lies a hidden world of clandestine love affairs, hidden pregnancy, spiritual quackery and hypocrisy that threatens to destroy the community from within."--Page 4 of cover.
