Chika Unigwe
On her new novel On Black Sisters’ Street

Sisi, Ama, Efe and Joyce are African prostitutes, working in Belgium. When Sisi is murdered, their world is shattered. The women gather to mourn, and share their secret backgrounds, stories of terror, displacement and love, and of a sinister man named Dele. Novelist Chika Unigwe joins Jane to talk about the inspiration for her first novel in English.
