Flaptekst van de eerste roman van de Nigeriaanse schrijfster Buchi Emecheta
Adah is a single mother of five, living in a dank, crumbling housing estate for ‘problem families’, avoiding the rats and rubbish. It’s not quite the new start in London she had planned. As she navigates the 
complicated welfare system that keeps her trapped in poverty, can she cling to her dream of a better life, and find somewhere that feels like home?
Buchi Emecheta’s scorching debut novel drew on her own experiences to paint a moving picture of hope, unexpected friendship, and survival.
Buchi Emecheta (21 July 1944 – 24 January 2017) was born in Lagos, Nigeria and moved to London in 1961. A writer and academic, she wrote sixteen novels, three children’s stories and numerous articles and television plays. She died in London, 72 years of age.
