A Spell of Good Things explores the diverse nature of modern Nigeria between the haves and have nots, exploring the lengths required to rise or at the very least survive.
No ones life is perfect and compromises are made to meet familial expectations and further ambitions. The central characters of Eniola and Wuraola become intrinsically linked as mechanisms out of their control force them towards life shattering revelations.
The book took a while to construct the narrative and then too quickly came to its climax, but the authentic feel of the environ created made this forgivable.
