November 2016


Born in Bristol and raised in Lagos, Nikki May is Anglo-Nigerian.
Her critically acclaimed debut novel WAHALA won the Comedy Women In Print New Voice Prize, was longlisted for the Goldsboro Glass Bell Award and the Diverse Books Award, and is being turned into a major BBC TV drama series.
THIS MOTHERLESS LAND is her second novel.
Nikki lives in Dorset with her husband, two standard Schnauzers and way too many books. She should be working on her third book but is probably reading.

This Motherless Land by Nikki May
"Funke (Kate) went through it, I tell you!

What a wonderful story about two cousins, Funke and Liv—born on different continents, yet brought together by tragedy.
So much unfolds between them, and in the end, it’s those very events that tear them apart.

Quotes by Nikki May  (?)
Quotes are added by the Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ community and are not verified by Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ.

“Urban was her way of saying black. Simi had downed her champagne through gritted teeth. She wanted to win because she was good â€� smart, creative, persuasive â€� not because she was black.”
Nikki May, Wahala

“By the time she was nine, Simi understood how the world worked. In Lagos being light-skinned was far more important than fine eyes, clear skin, a waist or a brain.”
Nikki May, Wahala

“No! I went to Lagos for a holiday. She turned up at our house, told Mum she was my fiancée. Caused a scene. Crying, screaming, threatening to kill herself. It took hours to get rid of her. We were on the verge of calling the police. Ask Yetty if you don’t believe me. She was there.”
Nikki May, Wahala
