'Elegant and elegiac' Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Guardian
'A writer of spectacular talent' Observer
On the surface, Niru leads a charmed life. Raised by two attentive parents in
Washington, DC, he's a top student and a track star at his prestigious private
high school. Bound for Harvard, his prospects are bright. But Niru has a
painful secret: he is queer - an abominable sin to his conservative Nigerian
parents. No one knows except his best friend, Meredith - the one person who
seems not to judge him.
When his father accidentally finds out, the fallout is brutal and swift.
Coping with troubles of her own, however, Meredith finds that she has little
left emotionally to offer him. As the two friends struggle to reconcile their
desires against the expectations and institutions that seek to define them,
they find themselves speeding towards a future more violent and senseless than
they can imagine. Neither will escape unscathed.
Speak No Evil is a novel about the power of words and self-identification,
about who gets to speak and who has the power to speak for other people.
