"To have This Motherless Land recognised in my fatherland means everything to me. I am overjoyed."
We interviewed the remarkable Nikki May, author of This Motherless Land, a Finalist for the 2025 Nigeria Prize for Literature.
From class struggles to family prejudice, read to discover just how personal this story is for Nikki, and how Nigerian readers can still relate to this Jane Austen-inspired story.
We hope you enjoy learning about Nikki as much as we did!
This Motherless Land is available on our website and in bookstores.
