That was also my first Oyeyemi and I haven't returned but fans of her work told me that I started with the wrong one, I've been told The Icarus Girl is a better entry to her style

Thanks, Amyn! I’ll remember that. How did you find Gingerbread in the end?

Another delight, huge thanks. I’m going to see Jamaica Kincaid in July at Charleston garden festival in July. Bliss. 🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆

You are such a breath of fresh air, Tasnim. Thank you for these recommendations. I'm not a fan of Oyeyemi so, I can't help .

This was great to read Tasnim! I’m not the best at abandoning books. I am good at putting a book down and saying I will come back one day though (day never comes). A few books here on my list too
