Bird

By Tami Egonu

In a world where love and loyalty are tested, can a mother's fierce determination break the chains of oppression?

In Victorian England, Emily and her daughter Amelia are imprisoned in the attic of Emily's wealthy sister, battling to survive against insurmountable odds. While Amelia has never tasted freedom, she possesses a remarkable gift: the ability to fly out of her own body. This unique power becomes a beacon of hope for Emily, who reflects on her once-vibrant youth.

Years earlier, a chance encounter with the charismatic black playwright Josiah Equiano ignited a forbidden romance, only to be crushed by her family's racial prejudices and an impending arranged marriage. As Emily uncovers treacherous family secrets and confronts deadly intentions, she is driven by a fierce determination to protect Amelia and seek revenge against those who prioritize honour over love-even if it means defying death itself.

This gripping tale intertwines themes of resilience, love, and the fight for freedom, making it an unforgettable journey of survival and vengeance.
