Nights of the creaking bed- Toni Kan

The first book of the year💪. A collection of 15 short stories. Set in Nigeria, Toni kan takes us through the life of the different characters excellently and honestly. Many of the stories are relatable, albeit heart-wrenching.
The stories are quite too sad to take in at once. Shame, guilt, corruption, and infidelity are some of the themes used in the stories. 
"God is listening" and "Devil's overtime" are my favorite stories from the collection. Children should not be left to fend for themselves, it puts them at risk.
