Stay With Me

By Ayobami Adebayo.

You may recognise the author, Ayobami Adebayo, from her book, A Spell of Good Things.

This new book - Stay With Me - 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.
