Selective mutism representation in Nigerian romance fiction was overdue. And The Days We Long For does it without making the disability the character’s whole personality.
January 1, 2023.
I woke up and found my sister lying on the floor.
At first, I thought she was pretending.
She used to fake fainting sometimes.
Then I saw the blood.
The medicine bottles.
I realised this time was different.
No one could tell me why my sister wanted to die.
Not my mum.
Not my dad.
Not even Dobby herself.
There was only one thing I knew.
Everything changed after December 5.
What happened that night?
Bittersweet Symphony.
Read the story and find out.
