Thought provoking book. Told from the daughter's point of view. A story of a family in Nigeria. They are wealthy; Father is extremely in his catholic faith; The family is controlled by the father through mental and physical abuse yet the daughter loves her father unconditionally. The state of the country is mirrored in this one family. There is a struggle between 'the old ways' and catholism, between peace/calmness and freedom, love and choice. Well worth the time to read it.
