Tell Mum I Love Her

Some stories stay with you long after the final page. This is one of them.

Set against the vivid backdrop of 1960s Nigeria, Tell Mum I Love Her by William Agunwa draws you into the world of the Obioma family — a young couple full of hope, ambition, and love, building their life together in the bustling cities of Enugu and Owerri. Through their eyes, you experience the warmth of Nigerian family life, the richness of Igbo culture, and the quiet tensions of a nation on the edge of change.

Chinyere and Uzoma grow up surrounded by tradition, laughter, and the unspoken sacrifices of parents who want everything for their children. But as pre-civil war Nigeria shifts beneath their feet, the family's world is shattered by a tragedy that no one saw coming — and that readers won't forget.
