Thank you to Netgalley and Canongate for a copy of this book.
Aged 17 Nani loses her older sister, Udodi and shortly after her father.
The resulting grief leads her to find comfort with a preacher man, but she soon finds herself trapped in an abusive marriage.
This is a heart-breaking novel with gorgeous prose.
This is a story about finding strength and hope even in the darkest places.
Looking forward to reading more of Unigwe's work.
