This month we had a new thing for us as we had a WhatsApp conference with Chris and Ali who were away on holiday.
Here are the comments that I noted as we talked:
- Too many Pages
- Too much talking about race
Interesting perspective about being non-american black in US of A.
- Lots of explanations needed about how she got to US of A.
- Discussion about difficulty of pronouncing names when we have never seen them before, leading into the complexities of the English language. Not just us but also in the media too.
- Did enjoy it very much, though contrived at times. Fascinating about the class system in Nigeria.
- Learnt a lot about African hair. - Lots of discussion about hair
Other african things we have watched/read
TV - The Widow (March-April 2019)
Heart of Darkness
Blood River
- Interesting take on B. Obama - too light/too dark for either camp
- Relationship with Aunt
- Threads keep comng back - echos of other relationships
Marks: 8-7-6-7-9 --> 7 Peter did not get on with the book, though the writing was easy to read,
Peter & Ali - no score.
