Description
This debut novel tells the story of Ayosa, a lonely girl living in a small African town, and her struggle to free herself from her mercurial mother. At the heart of the narrative is Nabumbo Promise, a mysterious and aloof photographer who comes and goes as she pleases.
Ayosa's world is one of contrasts, where the spirit world and human reality intersect in unexpected ways. She finds companionship in the unlikeliest of places - the ghostly Fatumas, the Jolly-Annas, and others who teach her to navigate the complexities of love and loss.
This stunning novel explores the dizzying dualities of love, revealing its intoxicating and all-encompassing power. With its unique blend of mystery, magic, and coming-of-age themes, "Things They Lost" is a captivating read that will linger long after the final page has been turned.
