The Beautiful Stars of the Night Skies is a historical fiction novel that tells the story of Obianuju, a school-age girl of Igbo ancestry, and her peculiar childhood in rural northern Hausa/Fulani region of Nigeria in the 1980s, a decade after the end of the Nigerian Civil War. It explores the complex interplay and relationships between ethnicity/race, gender, culture, and religion in Nigeria, along with the serious consequences and health impact of everyday Nigerian government policies on its citizenry, especially as it relates to economic migration. Love, betrayal, trauma, survival, hope, and industry are themes captured in this masterpiece novel.
