Meet the new product for fans of the works of Chinua Achebe, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Chigozie Obioma!

Before you is a rich and absolutely fascinating story, imbued with magical realism and Igbo mythology.

Ozomena was born in England, but returns with her parents to Nigeria and encounters the naturalistic, cruel realities of local life. But despite all the repulsive pictures, Ozomena is drawn into a magical, attractive world of beliefs that exists not only in retold legends. On the street you can meet angels and ghosts in pointy shoes, encounter an evil witch. Good and Evil walk the earth and have not only human, but also magical embodiment.

Ozomena's mission is to become a leopard and bring good. And somewhere nearby all the time there is another heroine, fulfilling a completely different, terrible mission.

This vibrant debut explores the lengths two women are willing to go to (and what they are willing to sacrifice) to survive in a traditional world where the word most often heard by women is "no."
