{"product_id":"stillborn-diekoye-oyeyinka-9789966259691","title":"Stillborn","description":"Narrated from the point of view of Seun, an orphan from the Niger Delta, Stillborn is not only a tale of turmoil and tragedy; desperation and despair; but also one of optimism and opportunity. It revolves around the lives of five characters: Seun, his mother Ranti, herself a girl of limited privilege; Seunís lover, Aisha, a refugee from the religious clashes in the North; and Emeka from the South-east, a war deserter who becomes an unlikely hero. Their lives intersect in the residence of Dolapo, a civil rights lawyer from the South-west. And the five lives come together to paint a vivid picture of Nigeria since its infancy fifty years ago, meandering into the complexity of the lives and communities of present-day Nigeria. In the end, Stillborn traverses the various political epochs that have shaped Nigeria, and by extension, Africa in general, right from the pre-independence period and through the fears, frustrations, hopes and dreams that have characterized this fragile continent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Diekoye Oyeyinka\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9966259694\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789966259691\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e East African Educational Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/17\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Diekoye Oyeyinka","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48487228309759,"sku":"9789966259691","price":23.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3e6da15d-8955-4d0c-8316-80e11262a9df.jpg?v=1778059180","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/stillborn-diekoye-oyeyinka-9789966259691","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
