Powerful, unforgettable, and a haunting story of environmental justice.
In the fictional African village of Kosawa, families have endured the slow poisoning of their land and water by an American oil company for too long. Told through the voices of children and across generations, Imbolo Mbue’s sweeping, lyrical novel traces their rise to resistance — a story about justice, exploitation, and the extraordinary cost of fighting for what is right.
Widely praised on BookTok for its multi-generational storytelling, poetic prose, and themes of resilience. Perfect for readers of The Poisonwood Bible (Barbara Kingsolver), Americanah (Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie), and Behold the Dreamers (Imbolo Mbue).
