Description
Set in the aftermath of the Nigerian Civil War, this novel turns a searching eye to a society strained by conflict and the long shadows it leaves behind. Through the lives of ordinary people navigating loss, displacement, and moral uncertainty, the story underscores the human cost of war while affirming the cultural and political significance of Biafra. Flora Nwapa’s distinctive voice blends intimate character focus with a clear social conscience, illuminating how communities rebuild—or fracture—when survival becomes the new normal. At its heart, the book is a meditation on memory, resilience, and the urgent desire that history not repeat itself: never again.
