Son of the Storm
by Suyi Davies Okungbowa
Son of the Storm is an epic tale that takes us to pre-colonial West Africa, following a young scholar Danso, whose encounter with Lilong of a powerful, skin-changing warrior woman upends his world and sends them both to the Nameless Islands where Lilong hails from, with their history of a subjugated culture and forbidden magic. Enticing echoes here of Black Leopard, Red Wolf, a favourite from 2019 with its labyrinthine retelling of African history and mythology as a fantastical road trip mystery.
