An incredible truthful and heartfelt collection of poems that narrates the pain of women from Africa. It tells their struggles in society and even the trouble of leaving their country for another and never fitting in. Warsan Shire is mostly known because Beyoncé utilized her poetry in her latest album, and she made everyone a favor by introducing this writer. Even though International Poetry Day is behind, I would recommend anyone from grabbing this and giving it a read.

3.5 actually, -you think you know the story. you do.
