The visit will lift the silence from her world and, in time, reveal a terrible, bruising secret at the heart of her family life. Here she discovers love and a life - dangerous and heathen - beyond the confines of her father's authority. When Nigeria begins to fall apart under a military coup, Kambili's father, involved in mysterious ways with the unfolding political crisis, sends Kambili and her brother away to their aunt's. She lives in fear of his violence and the words in her textbooks begin to turn to blood in front of her eyes. Her life is lived under his shadow and regulated by schedules: prayer, sleep, study, and more prayer. Her wealthy Catholic father, although generous and well-respected in the community, is repressive and fanatically religious at home. Fifteen-year-old Kambili's world is circumscribed by the high walls of her family compound and the frangipani trees she can see from her bedroom window. A haunting tale of an Africa and an adolescence undergoing tremendous changes by a talented young Nigerian writer.
