They burned down the market on the day Vivek Oji died.
One afternoon, a mother opens her front door to find the length of her son's
body stretched out on the veranda, swaddled in akwete material, his head on her
welcome mat. The Death of Vivek Oji transports us to the day of Vivek's birth,
the day his grandmother Ahunna died. It is the story of an over protective
mother and a distant father, and the heart-wrenching tale of one family's
struggle to understand their child, just as Vivek learns to recognize himself.
Teeming with unforgettable characters whose lives have been shaped by Vivek's
gentle and enigmatic spirit, it shares with us a Nigerian childhood that
challenges expectations. This novel, and its celebration of the innocence and
optimism of youth will touch all those who embrace it.
