302pp., paperback, Reprint, London, (2006) 2021
Sequel to the novel Nervous Conditions, winner of the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize.
"The novel's irony - and irony is the armature on which this whole story hangs - is that Tambu doesn't see how false and unachievable her goal is. In a sense, this is the same old story of being black in a far too white world, even though here - more irony - the white world is actually in Africa." · Helon Habila, Guardian
