“Let her be born, and handled, warmly.”
Adaku, written by Sixtus Chetachi Igbokwe takes place in 1979 Nigeria, when a good man’s sudden death in a hunting accident leaves his widow in a mourning chair. Their daughter, Adaku, seeks to bring honor to her community like her great hunter-father, but soon discovers the unwritten rules that govern her destiny as a woman, and even more so, as an Igbo woman.
