Trade Review
"Ishola-Ayodeji is deft, shrewd, sometimes witty, and always observant about the social, economic, and political obstacles to Nigerians wishing only to live honorably and decently. A poignant, revealing, and rueful tale of how much the political can affect the personal." — Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Expertly telling the story of an unloved girl on a hunt for answers and her own path, Patience Is a Subtle Thief is both heartbreaking and heartfelt." — Rachel Strolle, BuzzFeed "Abi Ishola-Ayodeji, award-winning journalist and television producer, can add accomplished author to her accolades with publication of this intense debut novel that explores the deleterious effects of secrets kept and the wrenching choices one woman makes in her search for identity and connection." — Library Journal "A thrilling story of family ties, secrets, and sticking up for the people you love. Now, can someone just turn it into a TV show, please?" — theSkimm
