Palm fronds in August is set in the late 1960s and 1970s in a small town in Midwest Nigeria—now Delta State.
Palm Fronds in August is a coming-of-age tale rooted in the red soil of war, quiet defiance, and tangled beliefs.

Through the eyes of Diana, strong and defiant—a girl determined to be and see more than the four walls of her mother’s hut—we see the layered world of the Midwest: vibrant festivals, sacred rites, the distant rumble of war, and the unspoken strength of a people long labeled as “savages.”

We meet Emeke, the village nuisance, with something to prove. Uncle Gideon, the idealistic lecturer, swept into the chaos of war. And the Obi, who must now choose between the dazzling pull of foreign promises and the grounding call of ancestral wisdom.
