Popular Nigerian author Cynthia ‘Tasha’ Osajibenedict has released her fourth book, titled If These Eyes Could Talk.
The new novel tells deep and emotional stories about people’s hidden lives and how they deal with shame, desire, and love.
Cynthia is well known for her powerful writing style. Her past books include Dear Naija Girl, Sex After Harmattan, and A Language of Flowers.
Each one talks about real-life issues many women face in Nigeria and around the world.
In this new book, she focuses on what people go through in private—when nobody is watching. “I wanted to write about the things people are afraid to say out loud,” she said.
The book has received early praise for being exciting, bold, and emotional. It is now available nationwide.
