Seoul 97

Adaeze Okonkwo arrives in Seoul on a prestigious scholarship believing she has outrun her past. But in the year her love deepens and her ambitions sharpen, she discovers the man she loves is her brother, the father she mourned is alive, and the programme that brought her to Korea was designed by him — not for her future, but to reclaim the woman she calls mother. Set against the economic fever of 1990s Seoul and the quiet dignity of Lagos, Seoul 97 is a story about what institutions owe us, what secrets cost, and the decisions that determine whether we build a life or inherit someone else's.
