The Super Lady

I am quite amazed with the book so far. I like how it is telling colonialism through story telling and also intertwining Yoruba mythology for the fun. The book has a way of bringing the realism of what's going on in the country without boring you of facts like a history book. My favorite part of the book is the short chapter on "The Super Lady". I think it is cute how he finds the wife that he can be with even though he is fearful of her in this particular chapter. I felt like it was a sign of nervousness. He is going through life as most of us do and we start to have feelings for the opposite sex. It shows the normality of other people in other countries, when we often assume that others across the globe may not be like us. The super lady was ecstatic that he was an earthly being and to me that proved that she admired the intermarriage of the ghost world and earthly being. The style of each of the stories makes the book simply beautiful. The language allows for many interpretations and this was mine.
