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.
