Girls

by Theresa Ikoko

Overview

“Scorchingly intelligent and as powerful as a gut punch.” The Times

Three ordinary girls, Tisana, Ruhab and Haleema. Best friends forever. All the big issues: love, sex, religion... and being kidnapped from their hometown in Nigeria.

Fiercely funny and powerfully political, Theresa Ikoko's Girls explores enduring friendship, girlhood and the stories behind the headlines that quickly become yesterday's news.

Winner of the 2015 Alfred Fagon Award and 2016 George Devine Award, Girls is published in Methuen Drama's Modern Classics series, featuring a new introduction by Daniel Bailey.
