In sensuous, mythic prose, Francesca Ekwuyasi's sweeping debut novel Butter Honey Pig Bread tells the interwoven stories of three Nigerian women: Kambirinachi and her twin daughters, Kehinde and Taiye.

Incandescent and evocative, Butter Honey Pig Bread is an intergenerational tale spanning three continents about choices and their consequences, of motherhood, of the malleable line between the spirit and the mind, of finding new homes and mending old ones, of various appetites, of queer love, of friendship, faith, and above all, family. 

"The descriptions throughout the novel invite readers to fully savor Ekwuyasi's language.  Mixing emotional depth with supernatural elements, this is a masterful debut." -- Booklist
