“The traditional short story form is difficult to master but Ayotola Tehingbola, in this debut collection of stories, writes with steady hands, a master's voice, and a surprisingly unrivaled energy. Her words are blunt, her voice melancholic yet nostalgic and her characters full of alchemy.” — Obinna Udenwe, author of The Widow Who Died with Flowers in Her Mouth.

“An eclectic collection of masterfully crafted stories.” — Adesuwa O'Man Nwokedi, author of Adanna and The Marriage Class.

“Primal, provocative, poetic: Tehingbola’s stories are unapologetically confronting and superbly crafted!” — Chioma Okereke, author of Bitter Leaf and Water Baby.
