Roses and Bullets

by Akachi Adimora-Ezeigbo

"This is a compelling and riveting narrative, executed in a haunting style. Akachi Adimora-Ezeigbo writes with the ferocity of a barbed straight from the quiver of the heart to the target of another heart. The result is a lyrical tale that is experientially rich and enriching, a veritable mosaic of the human condition." JAMES TAR TSAAIOR, Ph.D.

"Roses and Bullets takes us right into the experience of its divisiveness, the pain caused by untimely and violent death, and the humanity that prevails in spite of pain and violence. It comes from a voice of experience, providing depth and insight into a traumatic period in Nigeria’s life in a most moving, graphic way. In reading, we live a little along with the characters, sharing both the trauma and the hope of new life." PAT BRYDEN

"Akachi Adimora-Ezeigbo’s Roses and Bullets distinguishes itself among the best of Nigerian Civil War novels. It is a beautiful human story about an ugly (inhuman) war. Tearful and heartrending." ODILI UJUBUONU, author of Pregnancy of the Gods

An emotionally compelling book.
Takes you through the rough experiences during the Biafran War and a love that was destroyed as a result.
I loved this story until it got to the concluding pages.
