Book Of The Month
Carolynn's Book Of The Month.
I can often be heard saying that YA means ‘books for you and all.’ I think that YA is for all of us. The standard of writing is so high, and this book is no exception.
Akwaeke Emezi has long since established themself as an incredible storyteller. And I really cannot get enough of fantasy that is immersed in West African culture and tradition. Mostly because I didn’t know it even existed most of my life. This book is captivating from the offset with characters you are fully invested in and a culture you will want to soak in.
A sweeping YA fantasy inspired by indigenous Igbo culture from the Sunday Times bestselling author - dibias, deities, magic and a twin hunting down her kidnapped brother. We had done and survived unimaginable things. Our world was so much bigger than our town, the river full of crocodiles, and these forests we'd grown up in.
There was an entire sea out there to prove it. Somadina and her twin brother, Jayaike, are practically the same person: they finish each other's sentences and make each other whole. When the twins come of age, their magical gifts begin to develop, but while Jayaike's powers enchant, Somadina's cause fear to ripple through her town.

'Exquisite, evocative writing from the heart, soul and very witty pen of Jimi Famurewa.' - ANDI OLIVER
'Wonderful . . .This is a moving, charming but also wonderfully astute exploration of food today, across continents, and from the home table to the school canteen and the high-end restaurant. It's also a beautiful reminder that our appetites, like us, can transform beyond what we ever thought possible.' - RUBY TANDOH

Lola Akinmade
