Towering above them is the story of Ummi al-Qassim, a princess of Bolewa, and the feud that attended her love?first for a nobleman, then for a poet?a feud that bequeaths her with madness and death.

“Ak?: The Years of Childhood” gives us the story of Soyinka’s boyhood before and during World War II in a Yoruba village in western Nigeria called Ak?. A relentlessly curious child who loved books and getting into trouble, Soyinka grew up on a parsonage compound, raised by Christian parents and by a grandfather who introduced him to Yoruba spiritual traditions. His vivid evocation of the colorful sights, sounds, and aromas of the world that shaped him is both lyrically beautiful and laced with humor and the sheer delight of a child’s-eye view.

A classic of African autobiography, “Ak?” is also a transcendantly timeless portrait of the mysteries of childhood.

As teenagers in a Lagos secondary school, Ifemelu and Obinze fall in love. Their Nigeria is under military dictatorship, and people are leaving the country if they can. Ifemelu?beautiful, self-assured?departs for America to study.

Years later, Obinze is a wealthy man in a newly democratic Nigeria, while Ifemelu has achieved success as a writer of an eye-opening blog about race in America. But when Ifemelu returns to Nigeria, and she and Obinze reignite their shared passion?for their homeland and for each other?they will face the toughest decisions of their lives.

“Reward Nsirim?s stories paint graphic pictures of life in Nigeria. They tell tales that are very familiar, in a voice that is sharp and succinct, quivering with the author?s signature wit. Some will move you to heavy sighs, maybe even the odd tear; others will leave you bent over with laughter. But they will move you one way or the other, as every good story should.” Dikeogu Chukwumerije.
