Description
Returning to Lagos after fifteen years abroad, an unnamed narrator finds himself adrift in a city both familiar and foreign. He navigates the vibrant chaos of his hometown, grappling with the pervasive corruption and the unsettling disconnect between its present reality and its national history. Through keen observation and introspective prose, the novel explores themes of identity, memory, and the complex relationship between an individual and their homeland. This poignant journey offers a powerful meditation on belonging and the enduring allure of a place one can never truly leave behind.
