Sibi’s Adventures in Alahtene

by Mary S. Fosi

Meet Sibi, a
vivacious, smart, and audacious girl who leaves the comforts of her
coastal town and parents to live with Ndih, her granny in the village of
Alahtene. Sibi’s integration into village life is swift and
adventurous, aided by the ever-soothing supervision of her equally
gallant grandmother and teenage uncle, Ajuenekoh. Recounted from the
first person, we follow Sibi’s adventures in school, church,
neighbourhoods, the rivers, hills and forests of Alahtene, its buzzy
market and most significantly, around Ndih’s fireside. Set in the early
1960s, Sibi’s Adventures in Alahtene bubbles with dozens of breathtaking
stories about the intrigues of adult life and childhood in a rural
community rapidly integrating into a newly formed African country.
