Description



Book Synopsis



Peace didn't know what she needed when her father died. Then she found Bolu, her halfbrother from Nigeria, whom she didn't know existed. Filled with grief and a thousand questions, Peace ignores her mother's concerns, and invites Bolu to England. His arrival feels like something clicking into place.

But questions about this stranger's intentions and his mysterious past hang heavy in the air. Desperate to keep her fractured family - and herself - together, Peace must face the fact that the answers she desperately seeks might just lead to everything falling apart.

Faith Omole's play My Father's Fable is a gripping story of grief, belonging, and a family on the edge. It was first performed at the Bush Theatre, London, in 2024, directed by Rebekah Murrell.
