Haggling for scraps in the market, Treasure meets a spirit who promises to bring her father back – but she has to do something for him first. Ozoemena has an itch in the middle of her back that can’t be scratched. An itch that speaks to her patrilineal destiny, to defend her people by becoming a leopard. Treasure and Ozoemena will face terrible choices as each must ask herself: in a world that always says ‘no’ to women, what must two young girls sacrifice to get what is theirs? “A feast of shimmering, beautiful prose” CHIKA UNIGWE “Bursting with magic, bright and visceral.” JENNIFER SAINT “A rich tapestry of African mythology and magic” CHERIE JONES “I am truly dazzled” TRACY CHEVALIER ACCESSIBILITY INFO: • Please get in touch ([email protected]) if you have any specific access requirements we can help with. • The shop is wheelchair accessible, with a double wide front door. • This event will involve sitting on a chair, with comfort breaks whenever you need them.
