Reading it now, enjoying so far, will update later :-)
A great debut. I have not read much from African authors and it was very interesting to follow a Cameroonian immigrant family in New York. The juxtaposition of the Jonga and Edwards families and their problems was giving food for thought, though I was not completely buying into the Edwards story. I am now curious to try all that Cameroonian food and I found this link useful for better understanding the Cameroonian words and expressions used in the book: http://nkiachaatemnkeng.blogspot.com/2017/03/definitions-of-some-of-italicized-non.html?m=1
The book lacked it.
