Overview
In this "unforgettable" novel for fans of Ibi Zoboi and Erika L. SĆ”nchez (SLJ, starred review), two sisters in Nigeria are separatedāone in the lap of luxury, the other fighting for a chance to thriveāin this award-winning novel where the line between family and foe is blurred.
Sisters Cheta and Zam couldnāt be more different. Cheta, sharp-tongued and stubborn, never shies away from conflictāeither at school or at home, where her mother fires abuse at her.Ā TimidĀ Zam escapes most of her motherās anger, skating under the radar and avoiding her sister whenever possible. In a turn of good fortune, Zam is invited to live with her auntās family in the lap of luxury.Ā Jealous, Cheta also leaves home, but to a harder existence that will drive her to terrible decisions. When the sisters are reunited, Zam alone will recognize justāÆhowāÆfar Cheta has fallenāand Chetaās fate will rest in Zamās hands. Debut authorĀ RimmaĀ OnosetaĀ deftly explores classism, colorism, cycles of abuse, howāÆloyalty doesnāt always come attached to love, andāÆthe messy truths that sometimes, family is not a source ofĀ comfort,Ā and that morality is all shades of grey.
