Synopsis
A Nigerian teenager and her older brother leave their father's repressive and brutal household for a visit to an aunt and learn that there's another way to live: in Aunt Ifeoma's house you can speak your mind without being beaten. The irony is that their tyrannical father runs a newspaper that champions free speech and individualism. This debut novel illuminates not only a family but an entire country.
