Reseña de Binti

4 stars

No me esperaba para nada el desarrollo de la trama. Nnedi Okorafor entrelaza con maestría los sentimientos de una persona criada en una tradición rígida y su ferviente deseo de explorar mucho más allá de los límites que se le han impuesto. No suaviza las partes más duras de la historia y eso puede resultar impactante. Me ha ayudado a reflexionar respecto a que, para entendernos unes a otres, en ocasiones tenemos que hacer sacrificios y ceder. Pero merece totalmente la pena hacerlo.
