Around the Web
For a first novel this is an excellent story, very well written by Ile, who clearly has a future as a novelist, and one that brings to life Nigeria of the past thirty years or so.
From The Modern Novel Ile’s narrative has silent power behind it. Unhurried, powerful and incisive, And After Many Days sheds quiet illumination on what is an ordinary story and elevates it to a height unbelievable and unimaginable.
Anote Ajeluorou on The Guardian (Nigeria) A deeply rewarding novel that heralds the birth of a major new literary talent.
