TOMORROW I BECOME A WOMAN

402pp., paperback, London, 2022

Debut novel set in Nigeria by Aiwanose Odafgen.

"Odafen writes with compelling craft of a world where certain expectations are put on women. Her exploration of the Nigeria her characters inhabit is unflinching and cuts to the core. It lets no one off the hook. Tomorrow I Become a Woman is ultimately a celebration of the irrepressible strength of its protagonist. This is a necessary book." Chika Unigwe, author of On Black Sisters Street

"Searing and beautifully rendered. Aiwanose Odafen's writing acutely speaks to intimate experiences at the crux of race, gender, class, culture and tradition." Koa Beck, author of White Feminism: From the suffragettes to influencers and who they leave behind

Aiwanose Odafen was born in Lagos, Nigeria. She is certified with the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, UK and worked as a consultant.
