About this book
In 1980s Nigeria, Yejide and Akin have built their marriage around love rather than the expectations of their families. When years pass without a child, that decision begins to unravel under social pressure, private grief and the arrival of a second wife. The story moves between husband and wife, letting each concealment alter what the reader thinks they know about the marriage. Set against a period of national instability, it is intimate, tense and devastatingly human. A compelling opening gives way to a carefully constructed portrait of desire, shame and irreversible consequences.
