In public, she’s “the quiet niece.” But at 2am under an Iroko tree, she’s an artist.When she meets Ammar Alade, a boy from the family everyone says she shouldn’t talk to, Eman has to choose: Stay safe and small, or fight for the life and love she wants.From London’s cold attics to Lagos’ brightest streets - Victoria Island, Ikoyi, Lekki, Banana Island - this is a story about art, family, and choosing yourself.
