Akwaeke Emezi
“It looked like a dream. She couldn't even see the house from the gate, just a long driveway lined with trees filled with pink and white flowers, hummingbirds darting through the air, monkeys peering between the leaves, and the sun washing gold over everything.”
― Akwaeke Emezi, You Made a Fool of Death with Your Beauty
