FROM THE TWICE BOOKER-SHORTLISTED AUTHOR

Longlisted for the Dublin Literary Award, the Joyce Carol Oates Prize, and the New American Voices Award

Named a Best Book of the Year by the Economist, Boston Globe, and Kirkus Reviews

When a country is torn apart by civil war, Kunle and Tunde are separated, each on opposite sides. Desperate to find his brother, Kunle’s search becomes one of atonement, leading him to join an army and to fight in a war he barely understands. Amidst the chaos, he forms deep, lifelong friendships and falls in love. But his ultimate hope remains: to reunite with his family.

An emotionally powerful masterpiece, Chigozie Obioma’s odyssey of brotherhood, love, and extraordinary courage set against the backdrop of the Biafran War captures the essence of a young man’s quest for redemption in a nation ablaze.
