Lagoon

'Chaotic, enthralling, and moving . . . gut-punchingly beautiful prose' Amal El-Mohtar 'A lyrical, poetic mash-up examining social deprivation, religious excess and the power of story on our lives' Guardian A star falls from the sky. A woman rises from the sea. The world will never be the same. Three strangers, each isolated by his or her own problems: Adaora, the marine biologist. Anthony, the rapper famous throughout Africa. Agu, the troubled soldier. Wandering Bar Beach in Lagos, Nigeria's legendary mega-city, they're more alone than they've ever been before. But when something like a meteorite plunges into the ocean and a tidal wave overcomes them, these three people will find themselves bound together in ways they could never imagine. Together with Ayodele, a visitor from beyond the stars, they must race through Lagos and against time itself in order to save the city, the world ... and themselves.
