Blessings follows two POVs: Obiefuna's, a gay teenager coming of age in Nigeria, where queer relationships are on the verge of being criminalised, and his mother's, who has to deal with her son being sent away to boarding school after his father catches him with another man.
Blessings can be a very tough read, but it also feels essential that it is told and read. It is also comforting in a way, to see Obiefuna find his place with people he can trust.
