Description
In the city of Enugu, Nigeria, fifteen-year-old Kambili and her older brother, Jaja, lead a privileged life. Their Papa is a wealthy businessman; they live in a beautiful house, and attend an exclusive missionary school. But their home life is anything but harmonious. Her father, a fanatically religious man, has impossible expectations of his children and wife, and severely punishes them if they're less than perfect. Home is silent and suffocating. Kambili and Jaja take their first trip away from home, to their Aunty Ifeoma's flat, where they discover a whole new world. When a military coup threatens to destroy the country, Kambili and jaja return home changed by their newfound freedom and tensions escalate. Kambili must find the strength to keep her loved ones together after her mother commits a desperate act.
