BLESSINGS - CHUKWUEBUKA IBEH GEBUNDEN

'Chukwuebuka Ibeh's writing has a certain delicacy to it  so wonderfully observant  and so
beautiful' Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie'A sublime coming-of-age tale... an extraordinarily composed
and deeply felt debut' Guardian When Obiefuna's father witnesses an intimate moment between his
teenage son and the family's apprentice  newly arrived from the nearby village  he banishes
Obiefuna to a Christian boarding school marked by strict hierarchy and routine  devastating
violence. Utterly alienated from the people he loves  Obiefuna begins a journey of
self-discovery and blossoming desire  while his mother Uzoamaka grapples to hold onto her
favourite son  her truest friend. Interweaving the perspectives of Obiefuna and his mother

exquisitely moving story of love and loneliness. Asking how we can live freely when politics
reaches into our hearts and lives  as well as deep into our consciousness  it is a stunning 
searing debut. 'A moving debut about love and loneliness' Sunday Times 'Marks the arrival of
Chukwuebuka Ibeh as a significant new moral  literary talent' The i 'Wonderful  vivid' Patrick
Gale 'A magnificent debut' Daily Telegraph
