Review:
An unusual kind of story powerful in its use of language, subtle in tone, and seductive in the layers of narrative it presents to the reader. It is as beautiful and haunting as it is affirming and challenging. Above all, it challenges our sense of what we think are African stories. --Simon Gikandi, Princeton University
Nile Baby is Grange Hill crossed with Frankenstein a fascinating read. --Giles Foden, The Guardian
