According to a summary on the Harper Collins website, “explores what it means to be different in a fundamentally conformist society and how that difference plays out in our inner and outer struggles. It is a novel about the power of words and self-identification, about who gets to speak and who has the power to speak for other people.”
Iweala is the author of the best selling novel, Beasts of No Nation and Our Kind of People, a non fiction book.
