Adebayo, Ayobami

Adébáyò․’s skill is apparent as she navigates Wúrào․lá’s and E․niò․la’s contrasting worlds, connecting the two through the choices they make and the tragedy that engulfs them both.

Recently short-listed for the 2017 Baileys Women's Prize for Fiction, Adebayo's work makes a blazing entry onto the list of young, talented writers from Nigeria. Readers who pick up this debut novel will not put it down until they've finished. Talk it up. [See Prepub Alert, 2/13/17.]
