| Publisher Description: Violet Oranges in Twilight is a gripping memoir. It is an intersect narrative of fiction and non-fiction; a fun-packed memoir of the 1980's primary and secondary school days of a middle-class Nigerian girl and her friends. It is a subtle tale of the challenges encountered by the students; salient issues in teaching and learning, reflection on experience as well as the hidden curricula that facilitated the development of the pupils and students during their initial formative years. Through stories of school and family events, the challenges of school and family relationships, career choices, socialization and aspirations were pertinently explored. The style of writing is simple and yet intense with the language that is formal and intermittently laced with humour, presenting majorly the perspective of the learners that are within an educational system that focuses rather on the facilitators of learning. |
