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. Furious, shocked, and livid with jealousy, Yejide knows the only way to save her marriage is to get pregnant. Which, finally, she does--but at a cost far greater than she could have dared to imagine. An electrifying novel of enormous emotional power, Stay With Me asks how much we can sacrifice for the sake of family.
故事还不错,但没满足对尼日利亚背景的期待
评分就是非常心疼,没别的,作者抓人物感情非常到位了,但是感觉结束的好仓促,可能自己也觉得悲伤逆流成河了吧
评分nigerian soap opera with forced mentions of political background, ALL the diseases (impotence, false pregnancy, sickle cell) and drama (affair with brother-in-law, second wife murdered), fixation on pregnancy-2 children die-rejects 3rd child-leaves-returns 15yr later to find 3rd child alive. magical goal ritual, victims of nigerian gender roles.
