Will do so. Thanks for the suggestion.



You dont need to.
I have learnt many Igbo words, phrases and proverbs from literary works such as this mainly.
Not just that, many novels with a Greek, Indian, Italian setting use snippets of their languages. It makes you want to know more about that setting.
There are many messages that only our mother tongue can pass across.

Sometimes, there are some depths in the messages that get lost in translation. I believe a glossary might be useful tho

After the first one turned out to be a street kid, I felt she was safe and will reunite with her family next but looks like this will be one very long read! with many twists and turns.

Mother's address missing, stranger in a strange big city... I'm afraid already for her.

I'm eagerly waiting for the next part with a tad bit of anxiety. More ink to your pen!

This is the first time in NL I would read a work that falls within my favourite genre.
But what always bothers me is to see women writing with such literary skills. You are doing a very good job here.

We know what distinguishes [men] from [boys]. You have the ability to don your writing with ephuistic ornaments. But men always want to be men; we always want to surpass women in everything. In this case, I am just jealous of your prowess. I rather stick to my individual writing style.
