Right from the start I found this book so interesting. I have never read a book like this before so I was so excited to read it. This is also the first book by Rutendo Tavengerwei I have read too. I did not know much about Albania before reading, so it was good to learn more about it.
There are a lot of issues discussed such as racism, family, friendship and just growing up in general. These topics are described really well, not over the top and not too little. I can imagine this would be really helpful for young adults and teenage readers.
I really like that there are two narratives; Tumi in the present day and Tumi's grandmother during the Zimbabwean independence in the 70s. Both timelines explore the struggles that they are both going through.
I would 100% recommend this to anyone. Even if you are you sure at first it is really worth giving it a chance.
