From chapter 1, ""I Do Not Recognise Myself"". Every guide is written like a story, with real research behind it.
Sunday, 2:00pm. Aunty Bisi's dining room. Egusi soup, pounded yam, and a sudden silence.
Aunty Bisi was usually the calmest person in any room, a primary school headmistress with neat braids and an unhurried voice.
