Fresco, senza tempo. Un'opera d'arte vivace' Observer 'Buchi Emecheta è stata la capostipite della scrittura delle donne nere britanniche. Potenti finzioni scritte dalle e sulle nostre vite' Bernardine Evaristo 'La maggior parte dei sogni, come tutti i sognatori sanno bene, hanno delle battute d'arresto. Il sogno di Adah non faceva eccezione, perché il suo ne aveva molte' A scuola in Nigeria soprannominavano Adah 'la tigre Igbo', era così coraggiosa. Ora si è trasferita a Londra per raggiungere suo marito ed è determinata a riuscirci. Ma il suo benvenuto dall'Inghilterra degli anni '60 - e dall'uomo che ha sposato - è freddo. Mentre provvede alla sua famiglia in crescita, lottando per sopravvivere e negoziando le ingiustizie quotidiane lungo il cammino, Adah è ancora decisa a non rinunciare mai al suo sogno di diventare una scrittrice. 'Audace, coraggiosa, provocatoria. La sua esplorazione della nerezza, lo sguardo bianco e lo sviluppo del senso di sé della protagonista Adah sono estremamente potenti' Gal-dem.
