Eyo E-BOOK

Eyo, 10-year-old girl, is taken from Nigeria to the UK for a better life. The novel follows her five year journey as she's passed from one 'guardian' to another, and her attempts to escape. Eventually, she is rescued, only to realise that in even in freedom, society demands an exacting price from those it should protect.

A contemporary literature novel with more than a hint of suspense.

Eyo, a spirited 10-year-old Nigerian girl, is torn from her homeland and taken to the UK for a better life. When freedom is finally attained and at great cost, Eyo questions whether the life she left behind in the UK was truly a nightmare or a twisted form of salvation.

Set against the backdrop of two vastly different cultures, this poignant novel will sweep you away to the bustling streets of Nigeria and the unfamiliar landscapes of the UK.

If you were captivated by the strength and resilience of characters in The Girl with the Louding Voice and Stay with Me, then this is the book for you. Prepare to be moved by Eyo's story and join her on a rollercoaster of emotions that will leave you breathless.

Eyo was nominated for the Commonwealth Writers' Prize.
