The death of Vivek Oji

One afternoon, a mother opens her front door to find the length of her son Vivec's body stretched out on the veranda, swaddled in akwete material, his head on her welcome mat. The novel transports us to the day of Vivek's birth, the day his grandmother died. It is the story of an overprotective mother and a distant father, and the tale of one family's struggle to understand their child.
