Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“A tangy Ocean’s Eleven–esque escapade that exposes class and ethnic divides in the country even as it manages to mock the West for its colonial gaze toward the African continent as a whole. Full of nuance, the story spares no one as it careens toward its satisfying finale.” —Booklist (starred review)
“Onuzo’s novel is at once a Robin Hood tale and a cross section of Nigerian society…She avoids grand defining statements about Lagos, smartly letting the predicaments of each character show how the city’s lawlessness runs parallel to its bustle.” —Kirkus Reviews
