Overview
This four-book paperback collection brings together the acclaimed, genre-spanning fiction of Akwaeke Emezi, the Nigerian writer celebrated for blending literary fiction, speculative storytelling and romance. From the family drama of The Death of Vivek Oji to the YA fantasy of Pet, the autobiographical intensity of Freshwater and the romance of You Made a Fool of Death With Your Beauty, this set suits readers who love bold, boundary-pushing contemporary fiction with unforgettable characters.
About the Books
Freshwater follows Ada, a young Nigerian woman whose parents prayed her into existence, only for something to go awry: she develops separate selves, or "alters", that grow more powerful after a traumatic event at college in America — a raw exploration of identity. The Death of Vivek Oji opens with a mother discovering her son's body on her doorstep, then unravels backwards through Vivek's life to reveal the truth behind his death and the cousin who loved him best. Pet, Emezi's riveting YA debut, is set in the city of Lucille, where children are taught monsters no longer exist — until Jam meets Pet, a creature born from one of her mother's paintings, who has come to hunt evil hiding closer to home than anyone admits. You Made a Fool of Death With Your Beauty follows artist Feyi Adekola on a dream island holiday of poolside cocktails and beach sunsets, where she must decide whether she's ready to open her heart again. Together, these novels showcase Emezi's extraordinary range across literary fiction, speculative YA and romance.
