Water Baby

Autor Chioma Okereke
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 apr 2024
She's the Pearl of Makoko and the world is her oyster.

In Makoko, the floating slum off mainland Lagos, Nigeria, nineteen-year-old Baby yearns for an existence where she can escape the future her father has planned for her.

With opportunities scarce, Baby jumps at the chance to join a newly launched drone-mapping project, aimed at broadening the visibility of the informal settlement and her community.

Then a video of her at work goes viral, and Baby finds herself with options she could never have imagined - including the possibility of leaving her birthplace to represent Makoko on the world stage.

But will life beyond the lagoon be everything she's dreamed of? Or has everything she wants been in front of her all along?

Notă biografică

Born in Nigeria, Chioma Okereke grew up in London, studied law at UCL and has successfully applied those skills to winning domestic squabbles ever since.

Her debut novel, Bitter Leaf, was shortlisted for the Commonwealth Writers' Prize - Africa Best First Book, and her short story Trompette De La Mort received First Runner-Up of the inaugural Costa Short Story Award.

As a self-labelled transethnic, she divides her time between the bustle of London, the hustle of Lagos, and the rustle of rural France.
