'An extraordinary tale about love, longing, and the bond between
mothers and daughters.' Vogue A Vulture 'Book We Can't Wait to Read
in 2022' They had not lost anyone that year, or the ones they had
lost were not worth remembering... Set in the fictional Kenyan town
of Mapeli, Things They Lost tells the story of four generations of
women, each haunted by the mysterious curse that hangs over the
Brown family. At the heart of the novel is Ayosa Ataraxis Brown,
twelve years old and the loneliest girl in the world. Okwiri
Oduor's stunningly original debut novel sings with Kenyan folklore
and myth as it traces Ayosa's fragile, toxic relationship with
Nabumbo Promise, her mysterious and beguiling mother who comes and
goes like tumbleweed: lost, but not quite gone.
