The Days of Silence – Angel Patricks Amegbe

Not even with her two sisters and mother, as they all battle to cope with the complexities of sisterhood, the fragile balances in mother-daughter relationships, and the deep scars of marriages gone awry. The story traces Osasé’s girl-to-woman journey of self-discovery from Kano, to Abuja, to Grenoble, and her fight for survival as her life slowly comes undone at the seams. The heartwarming narrative is reminiscent of ‘Little Women’ but modern, urban, and with a blindsiding twist in the tale.

‘The Days of Silence’ is a poignant coming-of-age story about identity, the unbreakable bonds of family, displacement, survival, and the triumph of a woman’s spirit.
