I got this audiobook from Libby because I like one of the narrators. The premise sounded interesting too, didn’t realize it’s an adaptation of a Jane Austen novel.
This story centers around Funke, who is half Nigerian and half English, and a tragedy that occurs when she is 9. She is sent to live with her maternal aunt and her two children, and experiences culture shock as well as blatant racism and malice. I felt for Funke aka Kate as she struggled to adapt but with time, she found her way. Liv, her cousin, forged a bonding relationship to her and they were close, until the night of Funke’s 18th birthday. A series of events causes our main character to be back in Nigeria and adapting to a new/old environment.
I was mad at Liv and her family for what they did and was looking forward to seeing how the story would play out. It tied up very nicely and overall I liked this book.
