Everything Good Will Come
Sefi Atta

Winner of the Wole Soyinka Prize for African Literature Finalist, Multicultural Fiction, Independent Publisher Book Awards Foreword Magazine, Book of the Year Award, Honourable Mention An international prize-winning novel by Nigerian-born Sefi Atta, Everything Good Will Come is a powerful and eloquent story of a young woman's coming of age. It is 1971, and Nigeria is under military rule and eleven-year-old Enitan Taiwo is tired of waiting for school to start. Will her mother, who has become deeply religious since the death of Enitan's brother, allow her to be friends with the new girl next door, Sheri Bakare? The two girls' paths traverse this novel, as one manipulates the traditional system and the other attempts to defy it.

Reviewer: Sunday Independent, South Africa
