      Book Overview

      On Black Sisters Street tells the haunting story of four very different women who have left their African homeland for the riches of Europe--and who are thrown together by bad luck and big dreams into a sisterhood that will change their lives. Each night, Sisi, Ama, Efe, and Joyce stand in the windows of Antwerp's red-light district, promising to make men's desires come true--if only for half an hour. They offer their bodies to strangers but their hearts to no one, each focused on earning enough to get herself free, to send money home, or to save up for her own future. Drawn together by Sisi's murder, the women must choose between their secrets and their safety. This first paperback edition of On Black Sisters Street celebrates the U.S. publication debut of Chika Unigwe, a brilliant new writer and a standout voice among contemporary African authors.

      If you're reading this, this is your sign to give this book a go and read it. I had the great fortune to be recommended and subsequently gifted this book by a friend, setting me on my course to pay that forward (I have since gifted this about 6 times to different adults). If you care about belonging, friendship, perseverance, and identity, you will love this book. Unigwe's writing style is captivating, her plot is intriguing...
