The Death of Vivek Oji - Nigeria Kachifo Ltd 2020 - 265

One afternoon, a mother opens her front door to find the lenght of her son's body stretched out on the veranda, swaddled in akwete material, his head on her welcome mat. The Death of Vivek Oji transports us to the day of Vivek's birth, the day his grandmother Ahunna died. It is the story of an overprotective mother and a distant father, and the heart-wrenching tale of one family's struggle to understand their child, just as Vivek learns to recognize himself...
