�I love telling stories. It�s really that simple.�

Since its release in March 2012, the book has garnered a 4.5 out of 5 star rating on Amazon and a 4 star review from The Metro. It has even earned her a place alongside a Booker prize-nominated Oxford professor on a longlist for the �10,000 Desmond Elliott Prize for debut novelists.

Chibundu has given readings at the South Bank, The Sunday Times Oxford Literary Festival and Cambridge Wordfest and recent media appearances include BBC Radio 3�s �The Verb� and BBC Scotland�s �The Book Caf�. The Guardian, The Times and The Financial Times are just a handful of other publications which have praised Chibundu�s fledgling literary talent.

21-year-old Chibundu has also been profiled by CNN and The Observer recently named her as one of the Authors To Watch Out For In 2012.

�I don�t see success as a personal achievement. It�s not like I woke up and educated myself.�

She plans to complete a Masters in International Development and, if the success of her first book is anything to go by, her second will be another literary delight.
