Introducing an important new voice in contemporary fiction, 'Everything Good Will Come' is set in Sefi Atta's Nigerian-born homeland. It is 1971, a year after the Biafran War, and two African girls become friends - one born of privilege and the other, a lower class 'half-caste'; one who is prepared to manipulate the traditional system while the other attempts to defy it. Written in the voice of one of these girls, the novel traces the unusual friendship into adult life, against the backdrop of tragedy, family strife, and a war-torn country. A wise and universal story of love, friendship, prejudice, survival, politics, and the cost of divided loyalties.
