Bisi Adjapon s Searing American Debut By Louisa Ermelino | Jul 30, 2021
Everyone loves a good story, and Bisi Adjapon tells a fabulous one in her American debut novel,
The Teller of Secrets (HarperVia, Nov.). But the story of how her writing life unfolded is almost as fabulous.
The book: a Nigerian-Ghanaian girl comes of age in 1960s postcolonial Ghana to experience the plight of women, the ties of family, political upheaval, and the ultimate realization of her own intellect and power. Young Esi Agyekum lives with her stepmother and four elder half sisters (some kind, some not so much, as their nicknames indicate: Sister Sweet Voice, Sister Crocodile Jaws). She’s the apple of her father’s eye and the keeper of his secret adultery.
