Summary
At the start of chapter 10, Remi is getting accustomed to her new school. She already has a best friend named Phoebe Vincent who called Remi’s father a nut for unknown reasons. She meets and befriends a German girl named Herr SchÖfbeck. Remi visits Germany for a short period of time and when she got back, phoebe asked her how Germany was, she says it was ok and that Germans had so many questions to ask her about Africa. It has been a couple of years that Remi has been in England and now she has finished high school and is now looking for a college to go to. She decided to apply to London University, but don’t know if she got accepted or not. She falls in love with a man named Akin Williams who she had met during Sisi Bola’s weeding (back in chapter one). She is going to a party with Akin and there is where our journey ends with Remi.
Quote
“Is there a sight more beautiful, the older women said, than a Yoruba girl dancing?” (Bedford 185)
Reaction
This quote, to me, was the most important quote of the book. Well not only because it has the book’s title in it but also because it shows that she was the person who stood out, the most beautiful. She used to be the girl who every one made fun of, the girl who everyone ran way from, but now she has become a beautiful sight.
