Four lives that dramatically collide. Iman, the orphan. Ciara, the temptress. Romilly, the priest-cum-artist. And Mary Thérése, the benevolent reverend mother with so much protective love to give. WHISPERS IN THE WAKE is a story about dreams, abandonment, trauma, guilt and hope, the hope that one's fate can be pulled from the fire, altered and made to soar. When all is said, when all is done, pain has a habit of killing pretence allowing our real path in life to emerge. 'Ini Ikpe-Etim has produced a remarkable read in the African storytelling tradition. Sometimes harrowing, sometimes hard, often joyous, but always with an acute ear for real people - their voices, foibles, weaknesses and grace. I cried at the end such was the strength of the final scene' Andrew Routledge 'A child saves herself from the worst excesses of victimisation by developing a soulless instinct for self-preservation. Prepare to hold your breath and follow her audacious, daring and at times cruel journey of self-discovery as it sweeps across continents, culture and social divides' Patricia Khan
