Ada Nwosu writes about families and the paperwork they leave behind. Her debut, A Quiet Inheritance, began as a folder of her grandmother’s letters and took six years to become a novel.
She also writes bilingual primers for primary schools, developed with teachers in Ibadan and Enugu. She lives in Nsukka and teaches a Saturday writing class she describes as “mostly arguing”.
