A rich, fearless novel from the winner of the Wole Soyinka Prize for Literature in Africa.
Deola Bello is tired of London, but she’s not ready to give up on life. When her charity job takes her home to Nigeria, her thoughts turn to the future, as she questions whether her peripatetic existence is still right for her.
Deola encounters changes in her family and her home, while a new friendship with Wale, a charming hotelier, offers more lasting potential. But is Deola really equipped to cope with the altered social mores that are part of modern Nigeria?
Sefi Atta’s urgent, incisive voice guides us through this intricate and vivid narrative, challenging preconceived notions of Africa and bringing to life contemporary Nigeria. With boldness and refreshing honesty, A Bit of Difference looks at the complexities of our globalised world, through a very human lens.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. A rich, fearless novel from the winner of the Wole Soyinka Prize for Literature in Africa. Deola Bello, a 39-year-old Nigerian expatriate in London, is dissatisfied with being single and working overseas. Deola works as a financial reviewer for an international charity, and when her job takes her back to Nigeria in time for her father's five-year memorial service, she finds herself turning her scrutiny inward. In Nigeria, Deola encounters changes in her family and in the urban landscape of her home, and new acquaintances who offer unexpected possibilities. While there, she must navigate both the expectations of others, and the difference between foreign images of Africa and the realities of contemporary Nigerian life. Deola's urgent, incisive voice captivates and guides us through the intricate layers and vivid scenes of a life lived across continents. With boldness and refreshing honesty, A Bit of Difference looks at the complexities of our contemporary, globalised world, through a very human lens. A rich, fearless novel from the winner of the Wole Soyinka Prize for Literature in Africa. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
