<p>The dazzling story of a Nigerian family. <br><br>The house at the end of Freetown Street in Nigerias Sabon Gari was once a sanatorium for colonists deranged from the heat and insanity of the place. Now it is home to a family whose unorthodox lives unfold into legend: Sweet Mother, an artist, her husband Shariff, a writer and soldier, and their children Andr and Max.<br><br>From the moment his baby brother Andr is born, Max attaches himself to him, even dreaming the boys homicidal dreams. When the wayward <br><br>Andr later pulls free from the family to join a death cult, Max must decide how far he will be drawn into his brothers web.<br><br>Serene and beautiful, Ladidi joins the family as a foster child, promising to marry the boy at school who can bring her a strawberry, a fruit she has never tasted.<br><br>Sensuality blooms, along with loss of innocence amid the death of music legend Fela Kuti, massacres, disappearances, abductions and broken promises.<br><br>While Sweet Mother and Shariff battle their personal demons, Max realises you cannot save your family. But can you ever escape them? <br><br>In his exhilarating debut, TJ Benson conjures up a kaleidoscope of Nigeria. This is the extraordinary tale of five people bound by blood, each searching for a way through.</p>
