In dreamlike prose, Manyika dips in and out of her present, her past, in a story that argues always for generosity, for connection, for a vigorous and joyful endurance." --Karen Joy Fowler, author of We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves , shortlisted for 2014 Man Booker Prize "If aging be a lamp, then Morayo, the protagonist in Like a Mule Bringing Ice Cream to the Sun is a mesmerising glow. Astute, sensual, funny, and moving." --NoViolet Bulawayo, author of We Need New Names , shortlisted for 2013 Man Booker Prize "From the instant you pick it up, you know that you will privy to the most intimate secrets. A beautiful, important new novel. " --Peter Orner, author of Love and Shame and Love Morayo Da Silva, a cosmopolitan Nigerian woman, lives in San Francisco.
