About the Book
A powerful tale, intimately rewarding, a psychological and emotional journey. Enthralling. The work of a perceptive and skilful writer.
– The Punch
This is a compelling narrative, not only about the onslaughts of cancer but of the courage required to face it. Promise’s relentless quest for life and meaning, her penetrating gaze, deep understanding of human emotions, fears and strengths and her consistent reaching for the power of the mind to transcend life’s vicissitudes resonate in this brilliant work.
ThisdayMoving narrative. Witty. Poetic. Intriguing style. Cruel passion that is as innocent as it is painful…

Isara, a voyage around Essay By Wole Soyinka
The contents of a tin box – a handful of letters; old journals with marked pages and annotations; school reports; notebook jottings; tax and other levy receipts; minutes of meetings; and programme notes of special events – which belonged to his father, S. A. (“Essay”) Soyinka, a school teacher during the colonial period in Nigeria, provide the grist for Isara: A Voyage Around Essay, the second instalment of Wole Soyinka’s memoirs – a son’s fictionalised “voyage” into the life and times of his father.
A well written account of childhood in pre independence Yorubaland. Although it is probably not typical, it illustrates the essence of the Yoruba parenting style, a style that makes every adult a parent and every child dutiful. I recommend it.
