Shortlisted for the Orwell Prize for Political Fiction (2020).

I was a girl once, but not anymore. So begins Girl, Edna O'Brien's harrowing portrayal of the young women abducted by Boko Haram. Set in the deep countryside of northeast Nigeria, this is a brutal story of incarceration, horror, and hunger; a hair-raising escape into the manifold terrors of the forest; and a descent into the labyrinthine bureaucracy and hostility awaiting a victim who returns home with a child blighted by enemy blood. Girl is an unforgettable story of one victim's astonishing survival, and her unflinching faith in the redemption of the human heart.
