There are a lot of reasons why these stories were each amazing and beautiful. For starters, they are #ownvoices, which in itself lends depth to them that is hard to come by from people not familiar with others experiences, but the stories are also varied in many other ways.

This was an amazing collection, each story focusing on a different part of life, each one entirely different from the last, and each one completely amazing.

This is a superb collection of twelve thoughtful, well-written stories, and I thoroughly enjoyed them all.

They touch on the same themes that haunt me and my sad attempts at writing - disappointment, self-consciousness, the immigrant experience on ...
The Thing Around Your Neck is a short story collection by one of my favourite authors, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Having previously read and loved Purple Hibiscus (my review) and especially Half of a Yellow Sun (my review - go and get a copy now if you haven't read it), I couldn't wait to get my han...
