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 Family secrets $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Bildungsromans. 650 0 $a Friendship $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Nigeria $x Social life and customs $v Fiction. 650 6 $a Familles $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $z Nigeria $0 (CaQQLa)201-0493129 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a Secrets de famille $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a AmitieÌ $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 7 $a FICTION / Family Life / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Psychological. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Coming of Age. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Families. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01728849 651 7 $a Nigeria. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205229 650 7 $a Family members. $2 homoit 650 7 $a Family $v Fiction. $2 sears 655 0 $a Domestic fiction. 655 2 $a Fictional Work $0 (DNLM)D022922 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 bisacsh 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romans. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000475 776 08 $i Online version: $a Emezi, Akwaeke. $t Death of Vivek Oji. $d New York : Riverhead Books, [2020] $z 9780525541615 $w (OCoLC)1110672823 $w (OCoLC)1110672823 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20221219100241.0 $n 10 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D3194E947FAD11EDA612AC93263FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
