In What A Time to be Alone, The Slumflower will be your life guru, confidante and best friend. She'll show you that being alone is not just okay: it's just about the best freaking thing that's ever happened to you. As she says, 'You're bad as hell and you were made with intention.' It's about time you realised. Peppered with insightful Igbo proverbs from Chidera's Nigerian mother and narrated by the author, this audiobook will help you to navigate the modern world.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I have read this book many times in the real world but spending an hour and a half- two (I went back to hear the translations several times) hours listening to the author really tell her truth in her own voice just makes it that much more amazing a must read/listen!

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Amazing book, very informative and direct to self progress. Well done
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Chidera Eggerue offers readers concise, honest advice - and teaches how to cultivate a strong sense of self. Her work is informed by her Igbo heritage, and proverbs (plus a modern interpretation) are scattered throughout. She breaks down the factors that keep us from being our authentic selves - whether that is through privilege, racism, emotional inavailability or people pleasing.
Honestly, I just wanted to bookmark the whole thing. Eggerue embodies the value of choosing yourself, always - and we can, too. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great clarity and lots of very wise audio bites!

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I really enjoyed this book. I love to learn about different cultures that I wouldn’t normally be exposed to and this book does that in a lovely way by using Igbo proverbs from her Nigerian mother, which are as amusing as they are deep.I found myself laughing away and really enjoyed it I will be ordering a hard copy. One thing I will say doe is I didn’t really feel part about what it means to be black really fit into this book. Although I agree with that it says It just felt a little random for me in this book.
