Mma has just buried her mother, and now she is alone. She has been
left everything. But she's also inherited her mother's bad name. A
bold, brash woman, the only thing her mother refused to discuss was
her past. Why did she flee her family and bring her daughter to a
new town when she was a baby? What was she escaping from? Abandoned
now, Mma has no knowledge of her father or her family - but she is
desperate to find out. Night Dancer is a powerful and moving novel
about the relationship between mothers and daughters, about the
bonds of family, about knowing when to fulfil your duty, and when
you must be brave enough not to. Presenting a vista of Nigeria over
the past half-century, it is a vibrant and heartfelt exploration of
one woman's search for belonging.
