Hello Colorful Cast of Characters, Marci and Ako are back for another bi-weekly book chat and this week we're reading Imbolo Mbue's "How Beautiful We Were" an environmental novel set in a fictional west African inspired village in the modern global context.

As a note, this episode is more serious in tone and the dynamic duo express deep feelings of anger and despair, but if you're up for it, its a very worthwhile episode.

CW: death, environmental despair, violence and murder of children, state violence, colonization.
