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.

用户评价
随着情节的暴走，女主后半段也变得不可理喻起来。尼日利亚政变的背景好像也对整个故事没什么影响。有些描写异常剜心
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.
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
评分很美的一个故事，伤感却强有力。
评分对于一个处女作来讲很棒了 情节性超强 猜得到开头猜不到结尾(其实是能猜到part of the mystery but not the whole story) 居然让我昨晚直接一口气读完了 并且读完时 我看着身边熟睡的Ruby 极少有地为一本书泪目（发现很多小说家的处女作都属于这种笔风稚拙但故事好 令人放不下的类型）没什么长篇细腻的描写 很多对话 每一句都在把故事往前推 但是个人觉得书中作者试图interweave进去的尼日利亚历史/社会变更这条线稍显多余(或者是我品味有限并不能appreciate) 总之本书和书里人物一样 deeply humane, flawed, and ultimately lovely
