The Bead Collector by Sefi Atta
Lagos, January 1976, six years after the Nigerian Civil War. A new military regime has been in power for six months, but rumors are spreading that a countercoup is imminent. At an art exhibition in the affluent Ikoyi neighborhood, Remi Lawal, a Nigerian woman who runs her own greeting-card shop, meets Frances Cooke, who introduces herself as an American art dealer, in Nigeria to buy rare beads. They become friends and over the next few weeks confide in each other about their aspirations, loyalties, marriage, motherhood and Nigeria itself.Everything Good Will Come, Swallow, and A Bit of Different are written by Sefi Atta. She has received the Wole Soyinka Prize for African Literature and the NOMA Award for African Publishing.
