An extraordinary novel of breathtaking beauty, which follows in the tradition of Buchi Emecheta and Chris Abani. Winner of the 2007 Ken Saro-Wiwa Award.
 
Ngozi Akachi is a somewhat regular village girl of exquisite beauty, light-skinned and haunted by the strange storm that ravages her village on the night of her birth--a story her mother would tell her repeatedly. She is sent to Lagos to live with an uncle after her innocence was snatched away from her by a member of her family. In Lagos, she suffers cruelty from her aunt and forges a strange friendship with another girl, Tiffany Okoro, who comes from a different world all together. And so her strange journey in life's lessons begins--a journey that would lead her eventually to England and the many trials she would face until she finds her true voice
