The Seasons of Beento Blackbird by Akosua Busia
My rating: 4/5 cats
finally! a book that romanticizes male infidelity!! shhh ladies, in our places, now…here’s the thing—this book has a great story—particularly in the way it describes locations—therefore 4 stars cats. however, it has some of the most unrealistic characters imaginable. there are some major inconsistencies in the main character’s emotional obliviousness vs. his very intense social awareness. he demonstrates a heightened sensitivity in certain scenes but seems unaware that having different wives in different corners of the world might somehow backfire and cause tension. but i am a sucker for a well-told story, so i am overlooking some flaws tonight.
