       Dedication

      My grandfathers, whom I never knew,

       Nwoye David Adichie and Aro-Nweke Felix Odigwe,

       did not survive the war.

      My grandmothers, Nwabuodu Regina Odigwe and Nwamgbafor Agnes Adichie, remarkable women both, did.

      This book is dedicated to their memories: ka fa nodu na ndokwa.

      And to Mellitus, wherever he may be.

       Epigraph

      Today I see it still –

       Dry, wire-thin in sun and dust of the dry months –

       Headstone on tiny debris of passionate courage.

      – Chinua Achebe,

       From ‘Mango Seedling’ in Christmas in Biafra and Other Poems
