With Love Miss Americanah
With Love, Miss Americanah the Young Adult contemporary romance debut from Jane Igharo sees a teenager move from Nigeria to America and navigate her senior year with the help of classic teen movies and a new crush, all while working through grief and the rigid expectations of her mother.17 year old Enore Adesuwa doesn & rsquo;t dive into things, she walks in carefully. So when she, her mother, and her sister move from Nigeria to America shortly after her father & rsquo;s death, she wants to be extremely prepared before attending an American high school. Her cousin, Adrian, doesn & rsquo;t have time to explain the ins and outs to her but, luckily, he recommends the perfect research tool: teen movies.Still dealing with grief but armed with a set of rules of survival gathered from these movies (including the crucial rule of keeping a low profile), Enore is ready for her senior year. But when she meets Davi Santiago, it may be much harder than she thought to keep to her rules. Because not only is he super thoughtful (and okay, very good looking), he constantly encourages her to share her incredible singing talent. Enore prefers the background but it just might be time for her to take center stage, even in spite of her mother & rsquo;s strict expectations.Maybe it would be easier to follow all the rules, the ones Enore set for herself and the ones her mom imposes, but as every teen movie has taught her, a coming of age is nothing without a little rebellion. And with help from her crush, her sister, and some new friends who don & rsquo;t quite fit the roles she expects them to play, Enore & rsquo;s senior year might indeed be cinematic.

Travellers By Helon Habila
'Once I started reading Travellers, I couldn't stop. With power and control, it plunges the reader into a maze of lives that crisscross between Africa and Europe. Refugees and not only refugees hungering for the north, pushing their way through the barriers of waves, human failings and unrealistic dreams.The novel has all the weight of art with the sting of breaking news. I loved it. It is Habila at his best' Leila Aboulela Poignant and beautifully sculpted, a novel about exile, identity and the many kinds of travellers moving through our modern world - from the Caine Prize-winning author of Oil on Water and Waiting for an Angel Modern Europe is a melting pot of migrating souls: among them a Nigerian American couple on a prestigious arts fellowship, a transgender film student seeking the freedom of authenticity, a Libyan doctor who lost his wife and child in the waters of the Mediterranean, and a Somalian shopkeeper trying to save his young daughter from forced marriage. And, though the divide between the self-chosen exiles and those who are forced to leave home may feel solid, in reality such boundaries are endlessly shifting and frighteningly soluble. Moving from a Berlin nightclub to a Sicilian refugee camp to the London apartment of a Malawian poet, Helon Habila evokes a rich mosaic of migrant experiences. And through his characters' interconnecting fates, he traces the extraordinary pilgrimages we all might make in pursuit of home.

Maitama Linen: The Scandalous Lives Of Abuja Elites
Kemi, a mechanic, walks right into the seemingly lifeless body of Aisha Bashir as she opens her workshop on a rainy November morning. With a gunshot wound to the head and at the brink of death, Aisha lays still as she recounts all the salient moments that led her there. From meeting Zeebaby to her emancipation as the 'new girl', she would never have thought she would be holding on to her dear life on the floor of a mechanic & rsquo;s workshop. While Aisha grapples with life, a whole world of chaos has befallen the once sleepy hills of Maitama. Like Beverly Hills, Maitama is the playground of the rich and powerful. Nestled on the hills of Nigeria & rsquo;s capital, Abuja, she knows many secrets and could tell many tales of the scandalous elite who call her home. Salma, a Maitama trophy wife with a secret, inexplicably finds herself at the centre of an international drug ring after meeting a dashing young Turk - Altin. Her husband Tanko Danlami, a prominent businessman with a secret life of his own would set in motion a series of events which intersects their lives in dangerous and exciting ways. Maitama Linen tells a story that unravels and then entangles the lives of numerous characters, and while these stories are unique to these characters, there is a common scandalous thread unifying them all. At its core, the book exposes the hypocrisies that typically underly the deeply held cultural, ethnic and religious norms and values upheld by the masses but often decimated by the elite. - Ohimai Oyeleke ( Editor & Friend of Author)

This is how we carried out of Africa the poor broken body of Bwana Daudi, the Doctor, David Livingstone, so that he could be borne across the sea and buried in his own land. So begins Petina Gappah's powerful novel of exploration and adventure in nineteenth century Africa the captivating story of the loyal men and women who carried explorer and missionary Dr. Livingstone s body, his papers and maps, fifteen hundred miles across the continent of Africa, so his remains could be returned home to England and his work preserved there.

& ldquo;When a factor meant to unite threatens to so violently separate you from the one person who infuses wholeness into your every day, would you let go? Or would you cling with both hands, feet, and perhaps teeth? 'The Steel Gavel & rsquo; follows the ordinary lives of Jideofor Williams and Fiyinfunoluwa Taylor after their rather interesting first encounter. As they pursue their happily-ever-after, nothing prepares them for the smouldering glare of a thriving culture in parts of a supposedly modern-day Nigerian society. A culture famous for stamping its cold verdict on human lives with the force of a steel gavel. This is a story of love, of friendship, and of hope. It is also a story of teeth-grinding defiance to the crippling power of tyranny. A tyranny which promotes a version of living; a version still denying many the right & hellip; to simply live.

Let Us Descend: A Novel (oprah's Book Club 2023)
OPRAH & rsquo;S BOOK CLUB PICK & bull; Instant New York Times Bestseller & bull; Shortlisted for the 2024 Carnegie Medal for ExcellenceFrom Jesmyn Ward & mdash;the two-time National Book Award winner, youngest winner of the Library of Congress Prize for American Fiction, and MacArthur Fellow & mdash;comes a haunting masterpiece, sure to be an instant classic, about an enslaved girl in the years before the Civil War. & ldquo; & lsquo;Let us descend, & rsquo; the poet now began, & lsquo;and enter this blind world. & rsquo; & rdquo; & mdash;Inferno, Dante Alighieri Let Us Descend is a reimagining of American slavery, as beautifully rendered as it is heart-wrenching. Searching, harrowing, replete with transcendent love, the novel is a journey from the rice fields of the Carolinas to the slave markets of New Orleans and into the fearsome heart of a Louisiana sugar plantation. Annis, sold south by the white enslaver who fathered her, is the reader & rsquo;s guide through this hellscape. As she struggles through the miles-long march, Annis turns inward, seeking comfort from memories of her mother and stories of her African warrior grandmother. Throughout, she opens herself to a world beyond this world, one teeming with spirits: of earth and water, of myth and history; spirits who nurture and give, and those who manipulate and take. While Ward leads readers through the descent, this, her fourth novel, is ultimately a story of rebirth and reclamation. From one of the most singularly brilliant and beloved writers of her generation, this miracle of a novel inscribes Black American grief and joy into the very land & mdash;the rich but unforgiving forests, swamps, and rivers of the American South. Let Us Descend is Jesmyn Ward & rsquo;s most magnificent novel yet, a masterwork for the ages.

Amerika
Translated by Willa and Edwin MuirForeword by E. L. DoctorowAfterword by Max Brod Kafka & rsquo;s first and funniest novel, Amerika tells the story of the young immigrant Karl Rossmann who, after an embarrassing sexual misadventure, finds himself & ldquo;packed off to America & rdquo; by his parents. Expected to redeem himself in this magical land of opportunity, young Karl is swept up instead in a whirlwind of dizzying reversals, strange escapades, and picaresque adventures. Although Kafka never visited America, images of its vast landscape, dangers, and opportunities inspired this saga of the & ldquo;golden land. & rdquo; Here is a startlingly modern, fantastic and visionary tale of America & ldquo;as a place no one has yet seen, in a historical period that can & rsquo;t be identified, & rdquo; writes E. L. Doctorow in his new foreword. & ldquo;Kafka made his novel from his own mind & rsquo;s mythic elements, & rdquo; Doctorow explains, & ldquo;and the research data that caught his eye were bent like rays in a field of gravity. & rdquo;
