Such a powerful and expertly woven story about love, loss, deception and grief; Strong character development with a storyline that comes full circle with ease and grace. This one stays on the shelf.
Yejide and Akin have been in love since college. They marry and hope to start a family. Their culture believes in polygamy, but they do not. After four years of marriage, Yejide is still not pregnant and his family brings in a second wife. Both she and Akin go to great lengths to have a child. Finally it happens, but with dire consequences.
I loved the intimacy of the story. The wuirky Africanisms.
