Raised by a distant father and an understanding but overprotective mother, Vivek suffers disorienting blackouts, moments of disconnection between self and surroundings. As adolescence gives way to adulthood, Vivek finds solace in friendships with the boisterous daughters of the Nigerwives, foreign-born women married to Nigerian men. But Vivek's closest bond is with Osita, the worldly, high-spirited cousin whose teasing confidence masks a guarded private life. As their relationship deepens, an act of violence leads to a family's struggle with loss and transcendence. -- adapted from jacket 650 0 $a Families $z Nigeria $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Secrecy $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Violence $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Nigeria $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Large type books. 941 $a 1 945 $a lpt 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210529010513.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2F838308346E11EB831ACDE824ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
