We are delighted to see that Ayobami Adebayo’s new novel, A SPELL OF GOOD THINGS, is receiving rave reviews.

“Heart-rending . . . a breeze to read, despite the weightiness of its subject matter . . . Adebayo handles her characters with empathy and nuance, showing their vulnerabilities, yearnings, shame and delusions” ― Financial Times

“[Adebayo] has delivered a poised and luminous love story set against the backdrop of a violent contemporary Nigeria” ― Observer

“Adebayo humanizes those sucked into the vortex of [. . . ] power with striking compassion – the characters’ misjudgments and delusions are deeply and empathetically imagined, wholly alive” ― New York Times

“Charged with an explosive satirical energy as it brings the personal and the political crashing together” ― Guardian
