"Yosoye, a twenty-something recent graduate, arrives in Lagos to begin an internship at an architectural firm spearheading the construction of a glossy new city on the coast. Weeks after her arrival, Yosoye discovers she's pregnant, and greets the news with both joy and terror. Joy because for Yosoye, the severely lonely daughter of an emotionally distant mother, a new life brings the promise of connection and companionship, two things she's carved for a very long time. Terror because all over Lagos, rumors of a strange phenomenon has captured the city's imagination and held its residents in fear -- pregnant women are walking into water and drowning. In this eerie and evocative tale, 'Pemi Aguda mixes myth, folklore, and history with an incisive portrait of a city and a people"-- Provided by publisher.
