Lade Tawak had a chat with Adaobi Nwaubani and Sulaiman Addonia on their novels: "Buried Beneath The Baobab Tree" and "Silence is My Mother Tongue". Adaobi's "Buried Beneath The Baobab Tree" is a heart-rending fictionalised account of a young girl kidnapped by Boko Haram insurgents. "Silence is My Mother Tongue" is an original take on the story of a community within a Sudanese refugee camp. Nwaubani interviewed many survivors of Boko Haram attacks for her novel, while Addonia himself endured life in a camp.
