Book Review of An Unusual Grief
What do you do you find out your only child died in a shocking way?
Mojisola and Titus were living a quiet and boring life in Cape Town when the news came in that Yinka had died in Gauteng, Johannesburg. The story tells us the unusual way Mojisola grieves for her daughter, hence the title and I loved that the title of the book matches the general theme of the story.
Unusual grief showed me that people grieve differently and you can end up knowing more about someone when they're dead than when they were alive.
The book was set in Ile-Ife, Cape Town and Johannesburg and I liked that the author described the places as she told the story. The book also explored issues like parenting, post-partum depression, motherhood, BDSM, loneliness and self-discovery.
All in all, I really enjoyed reading and I intend to read more books written by Yewande Omotoso. You should pick up Unusual Grief too🤗

This is currently in my TBR ,I'd read it and come back to say something.
I read Yewande Omotoso's 'A Woman Next Door' and I loved it. I think even that one was set in South Africa.
