‘Absorbing and tender, Chika Unigwe's The Middle Daughter is a finely-drawn portrait of a young woman's resilience in the face of violence and grief’ PAULA HAWKINS        

‘The Middle Daughter is an unflinching portrait of a family's grief and one daughter's climb out of despair. An absorbing, memorable read’ AYOBAMI ADEBAYO

‘The Middle Daughter is an emotionally charged exploration of the ways in which a woman may fall victim to conventions designed to ensnare her. Chika Unigwe is a writer of great conviction and superior insight . . . Nani’s story drew me in from the start and pulled me under right up until the end’ AMINATTA FORNA        

‘Marvellous and engrossing from beginning to end. Unigwe navigates points of view with the sureness and composure of a writer in her element as Nani’s raw and insistent voice drives the narrative’ SEFI ATTA
      
‘Chika Unigwe’s modern retelling of the myth of Hades and Persephone is pitch perfect - it is a meditation on the need we all share for belonging, and family, and love; a commentary on the journey we must all take in search of freedom’ HELON HABILA        

‘I could not stop reading Chika Unigwe's enchanting novel, The Middle Daughter. Her tender exploration of family blessings and woes is magical!’ UWEM AKPAN        
‘From the very first chapter of The Middle Daughter, you know you're in the hands of a skilful writer. In Nani, Unigwe has created a character that is both deeply loveable and deeply flawed. You'll root for Nani and you'll be frustrated by her. This is a book you'll want to read and discuss with someone. I highly recommend’ CHIBUNDU ONUZO        

Praise for On Black Sisters' Street:

‘This powerful book will leave you haunted’ ALI SMITH        

‘An important and accomplished novel that leaves a strong aftertaste. Unigwe gives voice to those who are voiceless, fleshes out the stories of those who offer themselves as meat for sale, and bestows dignity on those who are stripped of it’ BERNARDINE EVARISTO        
‘Lively and engaging . . . On Black Sisters’ Street is a pleasure to read: fast-paced, lucidly structured and colourful’ Times Literary Supplement
