Sister Spirit by Efua Traoré

What a remarkable story of discovery that Tara takes in this story. Being adopted, she always knew there was more to her story but when the nightmares begin, her parents agree to help her discover more about her past. Travelling to Nigeria, Tara finds she can breathe easier, and even though the dreams continue, she finds a peace in Nigeria.

She somehow convinces her parents to allow her to study for a year in a boarding school near to the Olumo Rock, where she feels an affinity. She makes some unsettling discoveries while at school, some that inject a fear in her and the students around her.

Secrets have been buried deep in this school and Tara finds herself at the centre of them. Can she unravel all the secrets of the past to find a future for herself?

Intense, thrilling and haunting- this compelling story will have you reading late into the night, unable to leave Tara’s truth behind!

  1. I’ve just had this through the post from Waterstones and can’t wait to read. I adore Efua Traoré and can’t wait to be transported back to Nigeria.
