Description
Inspired by Nigeria's folktales and war, Under the Udala Trees is a deeply searching, powerful debut about the dangers of living and loving openly. Ijeoma comes of age as her nation does; born before independence, she is 11 when civil war breaks out in the young republic of Nigeria. Sent away to safety, she meets another displaced child, and the star-crossed pair fall in love. They are from different ethnic communities. They are also both girls. When their love is discovered, Ijeoma learns that she will have to hide this part of herself. But there is a cost to living inside a lie.
As Edwidge Danticat has made personal the legacy of Haiti's political coming of age, Okparanta's Under the Udala Trees uses one woman's lifetime to examine the ways in which Nigerians continue to struggle toward selfhood. Even as their nation contends with and recovers from the effects of war and division, Nigerian lives are wrecked and lost from taboo and prejudice. But this story offers a glimmer of hope - a future where a woman might just be able to shape her life around truth and love.

Wonderful in every way
Great story. Great writing. Great performance. I’ve been meaning to read this classic for a while and it was just as good as I’ve heard it would be. An important book that everyone should read.

Eye opening
Loved the storyline and the performance was excellent. It really opened my eyes to the experiences of the LGBTQ community in Nigeria. It also did a great job of highlighting the tension between religion and same sex love.
10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND
