Conspiracy of Silence by Chukwuemeka Ike
In this skillfully crafted and captivating novel, we are introduced to Dr. Nwanneka Ofoma, a 34-year old, long-suffering, consultant pediatrician, whose ideal world is shattered at age eleven when she learns that the man she has known and regards as her father is, in fact, not.
Who then is her father? In the quest for an answer, she meets a brick wall of dead silence from everyone she turns to, including her mother!
Why the silence? Will this suspense be broken? What does the future hold for her and other ‘fatherless’ children in the land, and what does society make of all this?
