"She' s the adopted daughter of the Angel of Death. Beware of her. Mind her. Death guards her like one of its own. "The day Fatima forgot her name, Death paid a visit. From here on in she would be known as Sankofa -a name that meant nothing to anyone but her, the only tie to her family and her past. Her touch is death, and with a glance a town can fall. And she walks-alone, except for her fox companion-searching for the object that came from the sky and gave itself to her when the meteors fell and when she was yet unchanged; searching for answers. But is there a greater purpose for Sankofa, now that Death is her constant companion?

Her worlds open your mind to new things, always rooted in the red clay of reality. --Neil Gaiman The details of [Nnedi' s] world-building--including Binti' s rich culture of origin, living spaceships, and maths that read almost like music--are complex and fascinating --Veronica Roth There' s more vivid imagination in a page of Nnedi Okorafor' s work than in whole volumes of ordinary fantasy epics. -- Ursula Le Guin Okorafor' s writing is even more beautiful than I remember it being in Binti, evocative and sharply elegant in its economy. --NPR on Binti: Home
