Disappointing book. The author does a lousy job trying to turn Sarah into a heroine. She had an extra-marital affair because she was 'unfulfilled', was in Nigeria because she was taking advantage of corporate freebies, and stayed on the beach when she was harshly warned to go back to her hotel. Sarah brought a Nigerian girl with her to her husband's funeral and yet it seems that no one asked her about the girl. She let her lover spend the night in her dead husband's bed and interact with her confused four-year old. I found Sarah to be a sorry, irresponsible solipsist. The book did, however, peak my curiosity about Nigeria. I intend to spend a little time Googling.
