Synopsis
A dazzling emotionally-charged debut novel unfolding across three parallel timelines centered on an estranged older couple who are once again brought together to rid themselves of a century’s old curse.
When Benjamin lands in 1960’s Nigeria hoping to explore his roots after the death of his half-Nigerian father, he meets Margaret. As the two begin to fall in love and learn more about their respective histories they realize their lineage is interwoven in the deepest of ways.
THIS KIND OF TROUBLE unfolds over three distinct timelines; spanning the early 1900's to 2005. A series of troubling events that took place in a small village one hundred years before—events that brought Margaret and Benjamin together—are the same events linked to their eventual rift. In 2005, the couple has been estranged for forty years. Seemingly happy Benjamin lives alone in Atlanta; headstrong Margaret has made a home for herself in an upscale Lagos estate.
Their pretense of a settled life is shattered when when Nwando, their child, now a wife and mother herself, reaches out to her father with an urgent ask--he must come back to Nigeria to play his role in ridding their family of the curse that came between him and Margaret before it touches the next generation.
THIS KIND OF TROUBLE is a line-level marvel yet narratively ambitious, brilliantly exploring the tensions between African spirituality and a Eurocentric conception of mental illness.

Hardback. Etat : Very Good. A riveting tale of forbidden love centered on an estranged couple brought together to reckon with the mysterious events that splintered their family. In 1960s Lagos, a city enlivened with its newfound independence, headstrong Margaret meets British-born Benjamin, a man seeking his roots after the death of his half-Nigerian father. Despite Margaret's reluctance, their connection is immediate. They fall in love in the dense, humid city, examining what appears to be their racial and cultural differences. However, as they exchange childhood stories during lazy work lunches, they uncover a past more entangled than they could have ever imagined. Margaret's deteriorating mental health combined with the shadow of events that transpired decades ago in a small village sets their gradual fracture in motion. By 2005, Margaret has retired to an upscale gated community in Lagos, and seemingly happy Benjamin lives alone in Atlanta, managing his heart problems with no options when asked to name his next of kin. But their attempt at a settled life is shattered when their grandson begins to show ominous signs echoing the struggles Margaret once faced. The former lovers are forced to reunite to confront the buried secrets they had dismissed in the passion of their youth--secrets that continue to ripple through their family. A startling and propulsive tale of forbidden love, This Kind of Trouble traces the intertwined legacies of one family's history, exploring the complex relationship between tradition, modernity, and the ways we seek healing in a changing world. With this debut novel, Tochi Eze announces herself as a dazzling new voice in world literature. N° de réf. du vendeur 00100305641
