A Vulture Book We Can't Wait to Read in 2022
They had not lost anyone that year, or the ones they had lost were not worth remembering.
Set in the fictional Kenyan town of Mapeli, Things They Lost tells the story of four generations of women, each haunted by the mysterious curse that hangs over the Brown family. At the heart of the novel is Ayosa Ataraxis Brown, twelve years old and the loneliest girl in the world.
Okwiri Oduor's stunningly original debut novel sings with Kenyan folklore and myth as it traces Ayosa's fragile, toxic relationship with Nabumbo Promise, her mysterious and beguiling mother who comes and goes like tumbleweed: lost, but not quite gone.
The novel explores themes of love, loss, and the complexities of family relationships, all set against the backdrop of a magical and enchanting world. With its rich prose and vivid imagery, Things They Lost is a must-read for fans of contemporary literature and those who are intrigued by the rich tapestry of African culture.
We eagerly anticipate the arrival of this captivating novel in 2022 and are sure that it will leave a lasting impression on readers worldwide.
