'Compelling and surprisingly moving...Wiwa writes with clarity and lucidity'
William Boyd
'Riveting, searingly honest and deeply moving. It is a splendid monument to an outstanding man, warts and all'
Archbishop Desmond Tutu
'Powerful and thought-provoking...an extremely honest book, with no attempt to conceal the warts'
Tariq Ali, Financial Times
'All the ingredients of a Shakespearean drama...You feel for him. You feel for his father. His elegantly written book is a weave of Nigerian and family history, both turbulent, both tragic, neither without hope. It is however, a story of being trapped in history; the children of heroes who find their lives shaped by their parents...poignant'
Sandra Jordan, Observer
'Painfully honest...all the more moving because it does not shy away from the difficulties of the son's relationship with the father'
Anthony Daniels, Sunday Telegraph
