A review by emilysquest
La Bastarda by Trifonia Melibea Obono

2.5

This book is probably someone’s jam, but it wasn’t particularly mine. Interesting because it’s the first novel(la) by an Equatorial Guinean woman to be translated into English, and queer into the bargain, but the plot & characterization are thin, almost fairytale-like, and the pacing is odd.
