Author-photographer Onyefulu offers another intimate portrait of a traditional Nigerian celebration. After a helpful introduction outlining the customs that will play out between the bride's and groom's families, young narrator Ekinadose describes events leading up to the nuptials of his aunt Efosa to his uncle Osaere. This welcome photo-essay conveys the universally recognizable joy of the occasion.
