Writes literary fiction about Lagos's middle class.
Ngozi Adeyemi was born and raised in Surulere and spent a decade in corporate law before leaving to write full time — a decision she has described as 'the only good argument I've ever lost with myself.'
Her work focuses on the domestic compromises of Lagos's professional class: the marriages, inheritances, and small dishonesties that hold a comfortable life together. The Quiet Half was her debut; The Currency of Small Lies is her first thriller.
