 | Pathos of a Wilting Rose
I found this book riveting and an unpredictable sequel to the prequel, A rose in bloom. this author is relatively unknown but with this book, wouldn't be for too long.
The vivid narrations and twist make for a compelling read. Chimamandu, you've got competition. |

 | The Thing Around Our Necks By Reuben Abati
Chimamanda is a gift to World literature. That girl is bound to go places. She writes, she really does, certainly better than all the ghosts pretending to be brilliant in the Nigerian public space. As a trained literary critic, I confess that I have nothing but absolute praise for her. |
