Please for upcoming books in this series I beg you. Africa is not one country and we don't all sound the same and speak the same language. Are you saying in the whole Wide world we couldn't find a Yorùbá actress or narrator to narrate this award winning book for us? Please audible. No offense to her.but she is in no position to do justice to this book. I cringe every time I hear her say certain words.
