Ayobami Adebayo has a new book which is coming out in 2022.
The novel, according to a report by Kirkus Review, is titled A Spell of Good Things. The novel centers on “two families in Nigeria at opposite ends of the economic spectrum, whose lives collide when political turmoil erupts in their city.”
Ayobami said that the idea for the new book was conceived “after a detour compelled me to realize what remained invisible to me in a town that I had long called home. While it has taken a few years to write a novel I hope illuminates the tangled longings of its characters, I’m excited to share it with readers.”
Jennifer Jackson, Vice President and Executive Editor of Knopf says that the new novel “exceeds all the promises made by the first.”
The British edition of Ayobami’s novel will be edited by Ellah Wakatama, Editor-at-Large of Canongate. The novel will be published by Knopf in the US and by Canongate in the UK in Summer 2022.
Ayobami Adebayo is the author of Stay With Me which was published in 2017. The novel has received many literary honors including the 2018 9mobile Prize for Literature, 2020 Priax Les Afriques. It was also on the shortlist for the 2017 Women’s Prize for Fiction and the Wellcome Book Prize.
