Eyo, an illiterate 10-year-old girl is trafficked to the UK with promises of a better life. The novel follows her five year journey as a domestic servant and eventual sex slave in the UK, her attempts to escape and her journey around the UK as she's passed from one human trafficker to another. Eventually, she is rescued only to realise that in even in freedom, society demands an exacting price from those it should protect.
A contemporary, world literature novel with more than a hint of suspense.
Eyo was nominated for the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize.
REVIEWS
‘…outstanding commentary on the conditions that make life in home countries unbearable, the casual cruelties meted out on strangers as they travel, and the indifference that sustains it all’ – Judging panel on Eyo, Commonwealth Writers’ Prize 2010
Eyo may have lost to South Africa’s Trespass (Dawn Garisch) for Africa’s Best Book in this year’s Commonwealth Writer’s Prize but it is still up there among the continent’s finest works of realistic fiction – Daily Monitor
This is an attitude changing novel – New Vision

INTERVIEW WITH THE AUTHOR
Q - First off, who is Levi Read?
A - Levi Read is a pseudonym for Abidemi Sanusi who also writes women fiction, business writing, and reference books.
Q - What should I expect from a Levi Read book?
A - Inspirational stories and Christian romance with a touch of wit. Put it this way, the books will not send you to Snoresville. Life’s short enough. Might as well write something that’ll bring some light relief to people’s lives.
Q - Congratulations on Eyo’s nomination for the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize
A - Thank you. Eyo was based on my experiences in the field as a human rights worker. In fact, about 90% of the things that happened to Eyo was based on real-life case studies… What can I say, writing contemporary women’s fiction and thrillers as Abidemi Sanusi gives me the flexibility to stretch myself as a writer and reach a completely different audience from Levi Read.
Q - I see that you also write books on content writing and book publishing as Abidemi Sanusi. That’s a completely genre from your other books…
A - Yes. When I’m not writing books or helping people write their first book via my online courses, I’m advising them on content writing (which is actually way more exciting than it sounds).
Q - How can we find out more about you?
A - You can check out my author page on , which has a bit more detail about me and my titles. You can also find my books in the following categories, so if you’re ever round those parts, do keep a look out for them
- Writing Skill Reference
- African American Mystery, Thriller & Suspense Fiction
- Religious Historical Fiction
- African American Literary Fiction
- Home-based Entrepreneurship & Small Business
- Publishing & Books
- African-American Christian fiction
Thank you for reading!

In my lifetime, I'v come across maybe half a dozen books that really wrenched my heart and made me see an issue from a different perspective. This is one of them.The story of Eyo, a ten-year-old girl trafficked from Nigeria to England and brutally exploited, is told with sensitivity and vivid realism. Sadly, Eyo's story, though fiction, is grounded in reality, and I hope this book will raise awareness of the issues facing abused and exploited children.
Thank you, Abidemi, for writing this amazing book.

Eyo A Contemporary Literature Novel of Thriller and Suspense edition by Abidemi Sanusi Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Powerful, gut-wrenching insight into the inner mind of a child sex slave. You'll want to scream your indignation at those who excuse their own exploitation of the vulnerable. This plucky ten-year-old is in a strange land far from those she loves, mistreated by people who had promised new opportunities, alone without documentation, without English, without education, invisible to "the system." The book touches on faith near the end when a priest and nun step in, but this is far more gritty and realistic than any inspirational fiction I ever read. The spiritual resolution is anything but satisfying, but I'm sure accurately reflects the frustrations of their ministry with sex workers. Although the setting is UK ("uukay" to the newly-arrived Eyo), I doubt the US system is any better at coping with a capacity for evil in men that sickens the heart.
There were some grammatical problems I attributed to the author not being a native speaker of English. Since most characters were Nigerian, the non-standard use of "wouldn't" instead of "won't" simply added to the flavor. However, it was a bit disconcerting for native Brits to make the same mistake. Perhaps I lack the necessary subtlety, but the ending wasn't explicit enough for me. Was Eyo walking toward the house or away from it? I know which way I wanted her to go, but the ending set up to make me expect something else.
Highly recommended but expect to be shaken.
Very very disturbing story but I guess it a reality of life
In my lifetime, I'v come across maybe half a dozen books that really wrenched my heart and made me see an issue from a different perspective. This is one of them.
