review 1: I love the feel of the AYA books and how well-rounded these Ivory Coast villagers are. The book never makes any of these characters victims of anything but their own human folly. Aya herself is a strong, confident single woman who one would want as a good friend. Abouet's sharp writing draws a line between socially-acceptable infidelity and harmful, soul-destroying misogyny without ever being preachy. Stunning artwork by Oubrerie.
review 2: This is the third book in this series, and I confess I have not read the first two. The title- The Secrets Come Out is pretty revealing, as a huge cast of characters have revelations that are major to the core of the story. The writing is very crisp and makes the reader have an appreciation for the Ivory Coast even though I ... moredon't know too much about it.The art is really good and totally fits with the story, Very nice collaboration between the writer/artist. The question would have to be, if I liked the third volume so much, will I go back to read the first two ? My answer is- if I can find the time. less
