Description
Bitter Leaf is a richly textured, poetic, and evocatively imagined tale about love and loss, parental and filial bonds, and everything in between that makes life bittersweet.
…..a poetically evocative story, rich in texture and vivid descriptions…emotionally accessible and moving…an impressive debut novel.
Okereke’s greatest skill lies in her avoidance of moralizing while telling this engaging, modern-day morality tale.
