A Cluster of Petals Oluwaseyi Adebola

A Cluster of Petals is an eclectic mix of short stories that are as brilliant as they are varied. These stories have been written over a span of about a decade and a half and capture the literary growth of the author as well as the timelessness of words and tales. Two right hands is the story of a child who has a conversation with his hands. Like the latter story, 'The Letter My Shoe Sent Me'; it provokes the reader to question what will be heard when the voiceless are able to speak. 'Madiba's Mole' also tows this line, with a fictional monologue of a mole on Nelson Mandela's face against a backdrop of xenophobic attacks. '7 days' is set in a boarding school in Lagos at a time when senior students were gods and masters to juniors. It is the witty and charming tale of a youngster navigating adolescence and a prophecy in which he is both the lead character and victim. 'The Mysterious Matter of Mallam Musa's Missing Murano' is the award winning whodunit story of a man whose prize possession goes missing and everyone is a suspect. It is sardonic, funny and laced with a blend of Northern Nigerian Culture.'How to be A Maga' is based on the true life experience of the author and outlines the three basic things you need to get scammed. This book has a story for everyone.
