Surviving the Storms is a vivid portrayal of the contradictions in the life of Kuro, an adolescent trying to come to terms with his existence in the city of Port Harcourt in the years following the end of the Nigerian civil war. This racy account evokes the exuberance of youth, the challenges of parenthood and the importance of a good education.Having spent part of his boyhood with his grandfather in the war zone, Kuro emerged after the guns went silent as a rather irrepressible lad both in boarding school as well as at home with his parents during school holidays. His struggles during his passage to manhood is narrated by the author with humour and insight, providing a slice of life in Nigeria in the 1970s.
