Book jacket text: Lagos, 1965. Okechukwu Nwankwo believes his ledger of numbers can protect his family. He is wrong. When war forces them to flee, his wife and daughter carry not just survival, but proof—the ledger, a stone, a florin, the names of the dead. Decades later, his daughter Chidinma inherits this evidence and transforms it into a weapon. Her battlefield is Nigeria’s bureaucracy. Her mission: to build institutions that can hold a nation’s truth. Spanning sixty years and four generations, The City He Never Returned To is an intimate family saga and a visionary blueprint for national repair. IBEKWE PAUL CHUKWUEMEKA was born in Nigeria to parents who survived the civil war. He is the founder of Akajiofo Press, based in Brussels. This is his debut novel.
