A writer of family histories, women’s interior lives and the strange distances between departure and return.

Nigerian author Amina Danjuma

Amina Danjuma was born in Kaduna and lives between Abuja and Lagos. Her short fiction has appeared in literary journals across Africa and the diaspora. The Last Harmattan is her debut novel.

Before writing full-time, she worked in textile conservation—an experience that shaped the novel’s fascination with cloth, memory and what families choose to repair.
