Description
Born on a Tuesday is a powerful and intensely personal coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of extremist politics and religion in Northern Nigeria. Told through the voice of Dantala, a young boy struggling to navigate adolescence amidst violence and fundamentalism. As Dantala navigates his world, he finds himself torn between loyalty and adherence to different ideologies, all while confronting the trauma of his past and the uncertainty of his future. This raw and authentic novel delves behind the scenes of the media's portrayal of Boko Haram, bringing a powerful and personal picture of life in Northern Nigeria today. With its simple yet unflinching prose, Born on a Tuesday explores the complexities of boyhood in the face of extremism and fundamentalism, creating a deeply moving and thought-provoking read.
