Unbridled by Jude Dibia

Based in Nigeria and the United Kingdom, Unbridled chronicles the story of a young woman, Ngozi, who suffers various aspects of abuse from her family. Ngozi Akachi is a somewhat regular village girl of exquisite beauty, light-skinned and haunted by the strange storm that ravages her village on the night of her birth - a story her mother would tell her repeatedly. She is sent to Lagos to live with an uncle after her innocence was snatched away from her by a member of her family. In Lagos, she suffers cruelty from her aunt and forges a strange friendship with another girl, Tiffany Okoro, who comes from a different world all together. And so her strange journey in life's lessons begins - a journey that would lead her eventually to England and the many trials she would face until she finds her true voice.

Jude Dibia founded the magazine What? at the University of Ibadan and is the author of Full Cycle and Walking with Shadows, a controversial liberal look at homosexuality in West Africa.
