How do you begin to find yourself when you only know half of who you are?
As Nnenna Maloney approaches womanhood, she longs to connect with her Igbo-Nigerian culture.
Her once close and tender relationship with her mother, Joanie, becomes strained as Nnenna begins to ask probing questions about her father, who Joanie refuses to discuss.
Nnenna is asking big questions about how to be when she doesn't know the whole of who she is.
Meanwhile, Joanie wonders how to love when she has never truly been loved.
Their lives are filled with a cast of characters asking similar questions about identity and belonging, whilst grappling with the often hilarious encounters of everyday Manchester.
Okechukwu Nzelu brings us a funny and heart-warming story that covers the expanse of race, gender, class, family, and redemption, with a fresh and distinctive new voice.
Perfect for fans of Queenie by Candice Carty-Williams and White Teeth by Zadie Smith.
Effortlessly captures the tricky nuance of life, love, race, sexuality, and familial relationships
Candice Carty-Williams, author of Queenie
Edifying and hilarious, The Private Joys of Nnenna Maloney is a beautiful debut that you won't want to put down
