Fiction
Here are Nigerian women at home and transplanted to the
United States, building lives out of longing and hope, faith
and doubt, the struggle to stay and the mandate to leave,
the burden and strength of love. Here are characters faced
with dangerous decisions, children slick with oil from the
river, a woman in love with another despite the penalties.
Here is a world marked by electricity outages, lush
landscapes, folktales, buses that break down and never start
up again. Here is a portrait of Nigerians that is
surprising, shocking, heartrending, loving, and across
social strata, dealing in every kind of change. Here are
stories filled with language to make your eyes pause and
your throat catch. Happiness, Like Water introduces a true
talent, a young writer with a beautiful heart and a
capacious imagination.
