Songs Of Enchantment by Ben Okri
Narrated by Azaro, an abiku spirit-child, this story follows a family’s struggle to endure in a tumultuous city where corrupt politics, street violence, and the temptations of wealth—embodied by the increasingly powerful Madame Koto—collide with a dazzling spirit world. Blending myth and reality, it moves through dreamlike visitations, election unrest, and intimate domestic moments to probe the costs of progress, the persistence of suffering, and the stubborn resilience of love and hope.
