Finalist for NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Debut
Finalist for Caine Prize For African Writing An Oprah Daily Most Anticipated Book of 2024 "Steady-handed and gut-punching. I'm in awe."―NoViolet Bulawayo In ten vivid, evocative stories set in contemporary Nigeria, Uche Okonkwo's extraordinary debut asks: why are the people and places we hold closest so often the ones that drive us to madness? A teenage girl from a poor family is dazzled by her rich, vivacious friend, but as the friend's behavior grows unstable and dangerous, she must decide whether to cover for her or risk telling the truth to get her the help she needs. A young woman and her mother bask in the envy of their neighbors when the woman receives an offer of marriage from the family of a doctor living in Belgium--though when the offer fails to materialize, that envy threatens to turn vicious, pitting them both against their community. And a lonely daughter finds herself wandering a village in eastern Nigeria in an ill-fated quest, struggling to come to terms with her mother's mental illness. Across ten stories, Uche Okonkwo's A Kind of Madness unravels the tensions between mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, best friends, siblings, and more, marking the arrival of an extraordinary new talent in fiction.Kundinnen und Kunden meinen
