Sobre este áudio

Named a Best Book of 2025 by Vogue and Harper's Bazaar

"A gracefully told and sharply observed debut." Kiley Reid, New York Times bestselling author of Such a Fun Age

A heart-rending debut novel about a Nigerian immigrant as she tries to find her place at home and in America—a powerful epic about love, grief, family, and belonging.

The Tiny Things Are Heavier follows Sommy, a Nigerian woman who comes to the United States for graduate school two weeks after her brother, Mezie, attempts suicide. Plagued by the guilt of leaving Mezie behind, Sommy struggles to fit into her new life as a student and an immigrant. Lonely and homesick, Sommy soon enters a complicated relationship with her boisterous Nigerian roommate, Bayo, a relationship that plummets into deceit when Sommy falls for Bryan, a biracial American, whose estranged Nigerian father left the States immediately after his birth. Bonded by their feelings of unbelonging and a vague sense of kinship, Sommy and Bryan transcend the challenges of their new relationship.

During summer break, Sommy and Bryan visit the bustling city of Lagos, Nigeria, where Sommy hopes to reconcile with Mezie and Bryan plans to connect with his father. But when a shocking and unexpected event throws their lives into disarray, it exposes the cracks in Sommy’s relationships and forces her to confront her notions of self and familial love.

A daring and ambitious novel rendered in stirring, tender prose, The Tiny Things Are Heavier is a captivating portrait that explores the hardships of migration, the subtleties of Nigeria’s class system, and how far we’ll go to protect those we love.©2025 Esther Ifesinachi Okonkwo (P)2025 Bloomsbury Publishing Plc

Resumo da Crítica

'An immigrant contends with alienation and love in Esther Ifesinachi Okonkwo’s spirited novel The Tiny Things Are Heavier…a piercing coming-of-age novel in which a woman learns to separate other people’s expectations from her own desires.' (Karen Rigby)
