Description

Palm Fronds in August is a moving literary fiction novel set in the late 1960s and 1970s in a small town in Midwest Nigeria—now Delta State.

Through Diana’s eyes—a young, determined girl growing up amidst colonial leftovers and looming war—we see vibrant festivals, sacred rites, and the power of womanhood.

It is a tribute to the Ika people and the proud souls of the Midwest, honoring the unspoken strength of a people long misunderstood.

This story is for readers who love deeply rooted African narratives, strong female leads, and reflective storytelling that lingers.
