The Talk of the Party

About this book

In a family built on lies, what happens when the truth comes out?

'A glamorous, dramatic portrait of the lives, desires, and tensions of Nigeria's upper class.' Oyinkan Braithwaite

Bukola Obanile's 60th birthday party is the hottest ticket in town. But champagne isn't all that is being servedā€¦

The Obaniles' picture-perfect life is the envy of all Lagos society, and everyone wants a piece. So, when renowned matriarch Bukola's birthday approaches, there are no expenses spared. Five hundred guests are invited, and her four children are all in attendance. Everything will be perfect, just as planned.

Except living the dream comes at a price and, as the party draws closer, each of the Obanile children find themselves embroiled in scandals that could shatter the flawless reputation their mother has carefully built.

As the music builds and chandeliers glitter, this one perfect night could be all it takes to destroy a family built on deceptionā€¦

Readers LOVE The Talk of the Party!

'The thrills and twist will keep you reading into the night' ?????

'TWISTED AND SUSPENSEFUL' ?????

'A sharp, unsettling novel' ?????

'A tender, incisive, and deeply human exploration of life and deathā€”and everything in between. Agbaje writes beautifully of love and of secrets; of what we inherit, what we choose to protect, and the cost of knowing. And ultimately, if we are lucky, redemption.' Chika Unigwe

'A highly entertaining family drama' Rukky Brume, author of It Comes in Waves

'With remarkable empathy and objectivity, Foluso Agbaje boldly exposes the shallowness and decadence of Lagos society' Sefi Atta
