When we entrust our struggles, our secrets to someone else, we cast a light on our darkness. People understand us better, we feel safer and we belong.
I wrote this book for men, to help them see their pain, and for women, to see these men beyond the roles they’re meant to play.
The only way to remedy judgement and loneliness is to accept that, as humans, we are born to connect, to need and to hold each other.
“If you were fortunate enough to have lived in Ọ́lá’s era, this read will resonate profoundly. I recognised his view of the world as my own and saw flashbacks of the spirit of my youth in between the pages. Carole crystallises the interwoven lives of the Nigerian diaspora passionately and authentically.”
“Reading Carole’s book is like stepping into another life — the descriptions are so vivid! I could feel all the emotions of the main character and see the world through his eyes too, even though — on the surface — he has nothing in common with me.”
“It was such fun to read this book! I love the writing style because it is so unusual. My daughter offered it to my son-in-law, who is Yorùbá Nigerian and he loved it. It also helped her connect with his culture in a very unique way. Highly recommended reading!!!”
