Beskrivning
In the early 1960s, Tayo Ajayi leaves Nigeria for Oxford University on a scholarship, where he meets Vanessa Richardson, the daughter of a former colonial officer. Their chance encounter begins a love story that unfolds across four decades, shaped by history, distance and the enduring legacy of empire.As their lives diverge and reconnect over the years, Tayo and Vanessa must navigate questions of race, belonging, faith, family and identity. Set against the changing relationship between Britain and Nigeria, their bittersweet romance reveals the personal cost of political and social change.Elegant, deeply moving and richly observed, In Dependence is an acclaimed novel about love, memory and the ties that bind people across continents, generations and cultures.
