Wow. This book is a powerful story of marriage and how two people deal with the pressures of pregnancy, family, tradition, and culture. It’s a story of tradition versus progress, faith and resilience. Written in sparse prose, it’s readable and will stay with you for a long time.
— JamieDescription
Yejide and Akin have been married since they met and fell in love at university. Though many expected Akin to take several wives, he and Yejide have always agreed: polygamy is not for them. But four years into their marriage -- after consulting fertility doctors and healers, trying strange teas and unlikely cures -- Yejide is still not pregnant. She assumes she still has time until her family arrives on her doorstep with a young woman they introduce as Akin's second wife.
