I do not come to you by chance is one of those African fiction books, we’d recommend in a heartbeat. Relatable, great plot and nuanced, Adaobi Tricia Nwaubani says she wanted to tell a story that is reflective of the people around us.
Published in 2009 and soon to hit the big screen as an executively produced film by Genevieve Nnaji, we’re delighted to have Adaobi as our guest in this exciting episode.
We talked about why she chose to write about a theme that reflects poorly on Nigeria and so much more. Enjoy!
