Mma has just buried her mother, a bold, outspoken woman who has left her everything, including a bad reputation. Her mother never spoke of her past: why she ran from her family and moved to a new town with her baby daughter. Alone now, and knowing nothing of her father or her relatives, Mma is determined to find out, in a search that opens onto mothers and daughters and half a century of Nigerian life.
