Palm Oil on the Elbows

By Joseph Adebayo

Palm Oil on the Elbows is a moving story of love, resilience, and survival set against the backdrop of the Biafran War. In the war-ravaged village of Abidi, Ikenna, a palm-wine tapper devoted to his crackling radio, his three spirited daughters, and his lifelong friend Ezenwa, struggles to hold on to hope as hunger, fear, and grief close in. Through the lives of families and neighbours, the novel captures both the tenderness and the tensions of a people striving to preserve their humanity amid conflict. At once intimate and heartbreaking, it is a story about memory, identity, and the enduring strength of love in the face of loss.
