Winner of the 2013 Commonwealth Writer's Prize for African literature. In E.E. Sule's debut novel, Sterile Sky, a community is wrecked by religious conflict while a young boy hunts for a better future.
As gifted student, Murtala, comes of age, violent riots break out in his home city of Kano - leading to tragedy within his own family. Whilst chaos threatens to erase everything he holds dear, Murtala is also being stalked by monsters both real and imagined. Desperate to untangle himself from the web of poverty and religious extremism that surrounds him, he is willing to do anything to escape.
An immensely poignant and powerful novel, Sterile Sky captures the religious conflicts of modern Nigeria and the enduring hope for peace.
'An ambitious work that tells the definitive story of an important moment in Nigeria's sociopolitical history.' Sanya Osha
