This novel unpicks Vivek's tale. It begins with his end, his body shrouded on his mother's doorstep, and moves backwards through time to tell us the story of Vivek's life and the mystery surrounding his death. Suffused with family life and a tragedy that sits squarely at its heart - it's the story of a Nigerian childhood quite different from the one we might expect. From one of the National Book Foundation's 2018 '5 Under 35'.
