Heavier follows Sommy, a Nigerian woman who comes to the United
States for graduate school two weeks after her brother, Mezie,
attempts suicide. Plagued by the guilt of leaving Mezie behind,
Sommy struggles to fit into her new life as a student and an
immigrant. Lonely and homesick, Sommy soon enters a complicated
relationship with her boisterous Nigerian roommate, Bayo, a
relationship that plummets into deceit when Sommy falls for Bryan,
a biracial American, whose estranged Nigerian father left the
States immediately after his birth.Bonded by their feelings of
unbelonging and a vague sense of kinship, Sommy and Bryan transcend
the challenges of their new relationship. During summer break,
Sommy and Bryan visit the bustling city of Lagos, Nigeria, where
Sommy hopes to reconcile with Mezie and Bryan plans to connect with
his father. But when a shocking and unexpected event throws their
lives into disarray, it exposes the cracks in Sommy's relationships
and forces her to confront her notions of self and familial love.A
daring and ambitious novel rendered in stirring, tender prose, The
Tiny Things Are Heavier is a captivating portrait that explores the
hardships of migration, the subtleties of Nigeria's class system,
and how far we'll go to protect those we love.
