REVIEW ALERT!
I am excited to share this review of A Blitz in the Haze by Sima Essien in the Lagos Review!
He wrote:
Dr Dina Yerima-Avaziʼs debut—A Blitz In the Haze, was such a great read for me that after I finished it, I had to put it down and take several deep breaths.
The plot.
The thrill & suspense.
The crisp prose.
The deft storytelling.
The characters.
The twists, the dread, the themes captured.
The soft gaze given to the North.
It is a slim book, but it will stay with you longer than bigger novels.
And then, in the review proper, he wrote, “…A Blitz in the Haze stands as a remarkable debut. Yerima-Avazi demonstrates an acute awareness of both the personal and the political, capturing the intimate devastations of abuse alongside broader convulsions of a society wracked by terrorism and unrest.
Her prose, attentive and emotionally astute, balances compassion with critique, offering a lens into the complexities of places known and moments lived.”
