About this listen
It begins in Enugu, at Uncle Kelechi’s glittering 50th birthday, a night of laughter, highlife music, and family pride. For young Unoma, it is a world of color and belonging. For her father and his brother, it is the night that exposes the deep differences between them.
Weeks later, tragedy strikes. One life is lost, another forever changed, and the truth buried beneath years of silence.
Decades on, that silence still governs Unoma’s world. In London, she is a respected voice for young girls who’ve survived trauma, yet she is haunted by a reoccurring dream, a fragment of that fateful past that refuses to fade.
When her scarred cousin, Nwanyibuife reappears, and her brothers, Chijoke and Chinedu, urge her to return to Nigeria, Unoma’s carefully built life begins to unravel. What begins as a reluctant homecoming becomes a reckoning, one that forces her to confront the secrets that shaped her and the silence that nearly consumed her.
From the red earth of Enugu to the quiet streets of Peckham, When Silence Shouts is a sweeping, multi-generational story of family, betrayal, and redemption. It is a meditation on truth, the cost of silence, and the power of finding one’s voice when silence finally shouts back.
