Amazing book. Ifueko did a magnificent job showing the class disparities and how even well meaning wealthy and powerful people don’t/can’t understand what or how to help the lower class, much the same as the lower class not understanding the privileges the rich get and being stuck in their poverty mindset even when they aren’t in that situation anymore. The more consuming rich people, much like the slave masters, see the working class as people who are too stupid to be able to comprehend “intelligent” conversation or develop a voraciousness for reading or learning and that they do them a favor by making them work for little pay. Very well executed. The rich people are almost always frustrating but they are done well enough that they become fascinating in their self obsession, ignorance, and classism. Definitely a great book. I’ll have to read the other books
