On a Sad Weather-Beaten CouchVerdict: carrot

‘On a sad weather-beaten couch’ is an enthralling, graphic tale that cleverly captures the unpredictable rhythm of life in a sprawling urban slum. Although not expressly mentioned, it is easy to guess the setting of this novel: Lagos. In this book, Sanya Osha effortlessly switches between the lanes of comfortable and taboo topics, and tempers it with a “read between the line” kind of humour. Sex (and there is lot of this in the novel), incest, adultery, religion, depression, familial bond, crime, hope and courage are some of the themes that carefully sustain the gripping texture of this novel.
