Description

It's been a year since Binti and the Meduse Okwu enrolled at Oomza University. A year since Binti was declared a hero for uniting two warring planets. A year since she abandoned her family in the dawn of a new day. And now she must return home to her people, with her friend Okwu by her side, to face her family and her elders. Her experiences off-planet have changed her forever, and Binti will have to discover whether there is still a home for her on Earth.

Reviews

PRAISE FOR BINTI: HOME

"Binti: Home is a rich, complex story of identity, family, and friendship. It's the rare sequel that exceeds the expectations set by the first--a futuristic story that is nonetheless vivid, emotional, and timeless." --Veronica Roth, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Divergent series

"Okorafor's writing is even more beautiful than I remember it being in Binti, evocative and sharply elegant in its economy." --NPR

"[Binti: Home] opens up Binti's tale in astonishing ways, while provocatively exploring questions of identity and kinship." --The Chicago Tribune

PRAISE FOR BINTI AND NNEDI OKORAFOR

"Okorafor's writing is wonderful, and the details of her world-building -- including Binti's rich culture of origin, living spaceships, and maths that reads almost like music -- are complex and fascinating" --Veronica Roth

"Binti is a supreme read about a sexy, edgy Afropolitan in space! It's a wondrous combination of extra-terrestrial adventure and age-old African diplomacy. Unforgettable!"--Wanuri Kahiu, award winning Kenyan film director of Pumzi and From a Whisper

"There's more vivid imagination in a page of Nnedi Okorafor's work than in whole volumes of ordinary fantasy epics." -- Ursula K. Le Guin

"Okorafor's impressive inventiveness never flags." -- Gary K. Wolfe on Lagoon
