Yejide and Akin want a child. The pressure from their families is immense — a second wife is introduced without Yejide's consent. The novel moves between the 1980s and the present, between private grief and public history, between what the couple tell each other and what they don't. Adébáyọ̀ uses a marriage under pressure to dispatch from inside contemporary Nigerian life with extraordinary intimacy. The most recent Nigerian voice on this shelf and one of the most assured.
