Description
In a hauntingly reimagined Lagos, these stories braid the living and the ancestral into a city where love, ambition, and survival are never fully separate from what came before. Across shifting lives and intimate encounters, characters strain against inherited obligations—seeking freedom, dignity, and selfhood while the past presses close in unexpected, sometimes supernatural ways. With lyrical precision and sharp emotional insight, Pemi Aguda’s debut collection explores themes of belonging, memory, power, and the cost of breaking (or keeping) ties that bind. Ghostroots is a vivid, propulsive work of literary fiction that feels both deeply rooted and eerily alive, earning widespread acclaim for its originality and storytelling force.
