Beginning in the late 1980s, northern Nigeria saw a boom in popular fiction written in the Hausa language.
Known as littattafan soyayya ("love literature"), the books are often inspired by Hindi filmswhich have been hugely popular among Hausa speakers for decadesand are primarily written by women. They have sparked a craze among young adult readers as well as a backlash from government censors and book-burning conservatives.
"Sin Is a Puppy That Follows You Home" is an Islamic soap opera complete with polygamous households, virtuous women, scheming harlots, and black magic.
It's the first full-length novel by a woman ever translated from Hausa to English.
And it's quite unlike anything you've ever read before.
