Jagua Nana by Cyprian Ekwensi
A vivid portrait of a glamorous yet vulnerable Lagos sex worker who navigates the city's nightlife, lovers, and social expectations while chasing material comforts and a measure of independence; the story exposes the clash between tradition and modernity, explores gendered power and social hypocrisy, and traces the compromises she makes as she tries to secure dignity, security, and personal agency within a rapidly changing urban environment.
