'Beautiful and immersive. I was completely absorbed' Andreina
Cordani 'Exceptional . . . A story of empowerment, bravery and
courage' J P Rose Lily is a sixteen-year-old living in Manchester.
It is nearly five years since her father's death, and she is soon
to return to her birthplace in Nigeria to reunite with her mother
and siblings for the anniversary. As cold rain thunders on the
streets of Moss Side she looks back over her young life and wonders
. . . how did she get here? As a young girl in Lagos, Lily is the
baby of her large family. The daughter of a Nigerian father and
Irish mother, she lives in a dual reality: one where moments of
bright colour and tenderness exist alongside a sense of danger just
beneath the surface of her apparently idyllic life. This is a
tension that nobody dares speak out loud and it teaches Lily an
early lesson: always blend in, always play the right part. But the
truth cannot stay hidden forever. Things in Lagos itself, and
within her family, soon reach breaking point. As her city and her
family implode into chaos around her, and at school her skin colour
marks her out from the crowd, Lily struggles to know how to blend
in. And when her mother sends her away to school in England, Lily's
sense of identity is challenged in even more painful ways. My Life
as a Chameleon is a powerful story of resilience and belonging,
about family secrets and how they can destroy even the deepest
bonds. It is a story about finding your place in the world and
realising you deserve to be there.
