The book's synopsis describes a character named Ashiru Lawal completing his NYSC assignment and securing a teaching job, but facing the obligation to marry his cousin, Dije Garba, to prevent her family from breaking apart. The synopsis also mentions Aliyu Kamal, who lives and writes in suburban Kano, and that "Silence and a Smile" is his fourth novel. His second novel, "Fire in My Backyard," won the ANA/Chevron Prize in 2005, and he has also published an anthology of poetry and short stories, and writes in Hausa. The bottom of the page contains publishing information: "Myrrh 9782035424 Fiction/Literature", "Printed in the Federal Republic of Nigeria", and "Myrrh Kano". The book cover is aged and slightly torn, with yellowing pages. It is lying on a dark blue fabric, possibly a blanket, with a red stripe visible. There are no people or discernible elements of the city of Jalingo, Nigeria, present in the image. The image is a close-up of the book's back cover.
