What does it imply for a household to lose a baby they by no means actually knew?
One afternoon, in a city in southeastern Nigeria, a mom opens her entrance door to find her son’s physique, wrapped in colourful cloth, at her ft. What follows is the tumultuous, heart-wrenching story of one household’s battle to grasp a baby whose spirit is each mild and mysterious. Raised by a distant father and an understanding however overprotective mom, Vivek suffers disorienting blackouts, moments of disconnection between self and environment. As adolescence offers strategy to maturity, Vivek finds solace in friendships with the nice and cozy, boisterous daughters of the Nigerwives, foreign-born ladies married to Nigerian males. But Vivek’s closest bond is with Osita, the worldly, high-spirited cousin whose teasing confidence masks a guarded non-public life. As their relationship deepens—and Osita struggles to grasp Vivek’s escalating disaster—the thriller offers strategy to a heart-stopping act of violence in a second of exhilarating freedom.
Propulsively readable, teeming with unforgettable characters, The Death of Vivek Oji is a novel of household and friendship that challenges expectations—a dramatic story of loss and transcendence that may transfer each reader.
