In Hiding

Excitement and joy usually surround a Nigerian “Owambe” party: the see-and-be-seen, power networking opportunity for status climbers like Bimpe DaCosta of Lagos high society. But the realities of being a single mum raising an autistic child prove discordant dance steps for Bimpe, whose experience of motherhood is at war with tradition. In turns funny, moving and always insightful, In Hiding weaves through universally relatable themes of social identity and motherhood, exposing a world in love with status, real or imagined.
