Egg-Larva-Pupa-Woman is an intimate portrait of a woman who defies all odds economically, emotionally and socially… a woman who is sculpted, by the unpleasant circumstances of life, into a breathing work of art. What are the odds in your own life? What die-hard battles have you fought? What issues are you grappling with – still?

“There has been a lack of strong women characters in African literary fiction of late… Egg-Larva-Pupa-Woman is unique because it speaks to the collective yearning of the Nigerian people, in essence the African people, yet tackles universal themes like love, forgiveness, entrepreneurship and womanhood.”
