| BOLATITO |
| Novel by Seyi Amao |
| What happens when a woman struggling with self-defeat meets a 12-year-old girl with an auto-immune disease? An unexpected friendship blooms from shared pain and the rediscovery of what love really means—one that breaks every traditional stereotype and difference in age, culture, tribe, and religion. |
| Bolatito, Seyi Amao’s debut novel, is a creative fusion of two biblical stories (the woman with the issue of blood and Jairus’ Daughter) set in modern-day Nigeria. An inspirational, suspense-packed tale that takes you on a journey from the corridors of a paediatrics ward in Lagos, Nigeria to the frontline of battle in the Sambisa forest, Borno State. A story about love, betrayal, and redemption. |
