Product details
"Patience Is a Subtle Thief" by Abi Ishola-Ayodeji is a coming-of-age novel set in early 1990s Nigeria during a period of intense political turmoil. The story follows Patience, a young girl who has been separated from her mother, who was banished by Patience’s father. When Patience discovers her mother is living in America, she dreams of reuniting with her but needs money to make the journey.
In pursuit of funds, Patience becomes involved with her cousin and his friends, who are engaged in petty thefts and scams reminiscent of the infamous Nigerian 419 fraud schemes. The novel explores the motivations behind such criminal behavior, including poverty, greed, and the disillusionment stemming from Nigeria's political instability—especially the annulled democratic election of the early ’90s.
Through Patience’s personal journey, the book sheds light on the broader socio-political challenges in Nigeria while portraying the resilience, intelligence, and ambition of its people. It humanizes a complex historical moment by focusing on one girl’s struggle for family, identity, and survival amid chaos.
Patience Is a Subtle Thief has been critically acclaimed for its vivid storytelling and nuanced portrayal of Nigerian culture and history.
