Book Synopsis

Ike Oguine''s debut novel, A Squatter''s Tale is a dark and bold story about the life of a Nigerian business man living in exile in America.

Obi does not shy away from his flaws. Dishonest, offensive, arrogant - he moves through life caring little about the people around him. Yet when his uncle comes to visit from America, showering him with gifts and selling him tales of a new life, Obi is determined to follow him. After buying a one-way ticket, he quickly realises that neither his uncle nor America are quite what they promised to be.

Fast-paced and defiant, A Squatter''s Tale is an honest insight into the experiences of a Nigerian man living in 1990s America.

''Few people have read this hilarious novel but one read is all you need to become a fan.'' Guardian
