A supernatural thriller, blending African myth, friendship, romance and self-discovery from prize-winning author, Efua Traoré.
Sixteen-year-old adopted Tara has questions – about who she is, where she belongs, why she dreams...
When her nightmares darken, fears swarm like a flock of ravens and she traces her visions to the ancient Olumo Rock in Nigeria. It is a sacred place, full of magic, myth, and where whispers of the past linger.
Travelling from England and enrolling in a boarding school at the foot of Olumo, Tara begins a journey to seek the truth of her roots and the spirits that pursue her.
Advance Praise
"Sister Spirit kept me turning the pages. A story about identity, culture and African myth. Set against the backdrop of a Nigerian boarding school Sister Spirit is creepy, haunting yet filled with history, loss, hope and love. Tara is brave and passionate as she searches for her identity and I adored Bisi and Lanre. Efua has once again written a brilliant book with the best Nigerian representation."
Abiola Bello, author of The Very Merry Murder Club
