A generation of Nigerian children were born in Britain in the '50s and '60s, privately fostered by White families, then taken to Nigeria by their parents.Coconut is the story of one of those children.1963, North London. Nan fosters one-year-old Florence Olajide and calls her ""Ann"". Florence adores her foster mother more than anything but Nan, and the children around her, all have white skin, and she canâ€™t help but feel different. Then, four years later, after a weekend visit to her birth parents, Florence never returns to Nan. Two months after, sandwiched between her mother and father plus her three siblings, six-year-old Florence steps off a ship in Lagos to the fierce heat of the African sun.Swapping the lovely, comfortable bed in her room at Nanâ€™s for a mat on the floor of the living room in her new home, Florence finds herself struggling to adjust. She wants to embrace her cultural heritage but doesnâ€™t speak Yoruba and knows nothing of the customs. Clashes with her grandmother, Mama, the matriarch of the family, result in frequent beatings. Torn between her early childhood experiences and the expectations of her African culture, she begins to question who she is. Nigerian, British, both?Florenceâ€™s story is a tale of loss and loneliness, surviving poverty, maltreatment, and fighting to get an education. Most of all, itâ€™s a moving, uplifting and inspiring account of one womanâ€™s self-determination to discover who she is and find her way to a place she can call home. Perfect for fans of Lemn Sissayâ€™s My Name Is Why and Tara Westoverâ€™s Educated.
