"Beyond the Yard: But for the Rain" - ‘Compelling’ Novel Deals With Prejudice and Injustice

LAGOS, Nigeria - Nov. 13, 2013 - PRLog -- “Beyond The Yard is a solemn story with deep delicate dimensions. Suffused with wit and uncommon humour, Inyang Ekwo tells the suspenseful tale of Abdul, who returns from the gulag to find his family had relocated to another city. This is a tale of resolve, doggedness and determination. It is a compelling read for every school, library and home.” – Austyn Njoku, author of Scents of Dawn

Abdul, a young man coming out of prison, is faced with prejudice by an unjust society. He is forced to fight for his fate and his life, and is determined to succeed. But will society let him? In Beyond The Yard, the forces that are relentlessly determined to keep Abdul down, demonise him and look for an excuse to send him back to jail. As he is pushed to the precipice, he is fighting a battle from which only one winner can emerge. Does he have what it takes to win?

“In these times of national and economic crisis, one must commend Inyang Ekwo for distinguishing himself in the creation of this masterpiece, Beyond The Yard … his fascinating, down-to-earth narrative style strikes deep, native emotional cords.” – Chinyere Darline Ezeigwe, author of Parable of Deeds, in the Nigerian Compass
