Review
"Nwilo writes with a quiet and fiery validation of African Englishes, specifically a certain Nigerian English - how refreshing! This is exactly the sore of re-imaginative work chat lovers of African fiction have been awaiting. A Tiny Place Called Happiness is a triumph for orature in literature every where!"
