By Ayobami Adebayo.
You may recognise the author - Ayobami Adebayo from her book - A Spell of Good Things.
This new book is just as good.
This narrative revolves around the lives of Yejide and Akin, a Nigerian couple whose union traces its roots back to their university days.
Their once-monogamous agreement is shattered when Akin, driven by Yejide's difficulties in conceiving, takes a second wife. This decision sparks a storm of jealousy and anger within Yejide as she grapples with her husband's choice while striving to fulfil her desire for motherhood.
I was blown away by how detailed the African culture was described and the relationship between Yejide and Akin.
Thank you so much to the author - Ayobami Adebayo and the team at Canongate Books for the ARC.
