A Spell Of Good Things

Ayọ̀bámi Adébáyọ̀

Service95 Recommends is the home of the books we’re loving and reviews from our contributors. A Spell Of Good Things by Ayọ̀bámi Adébáyọ̀ is the story of two families by one of Nigeria’s most talented authors. 

What We Say: “A poignant, evocative and moving exploration of the class divide in Nigeria, told through the perspective of two Nigerian families caught in the web of wealth, power, romance and corruption. Adébáyọ̀’s ability to craft characters is something everyone should experience” — Olivia McCrea-Hedley

What They Say: “Couldn’t be more timely. It’s as much about politics as it is a story of toxic relationships, coming of age, and finding the courage to do the right thing” — Afua Hirsch
