| book description |
""A culturally layered and gripping collection of stories that are also a testament to their resilience.""--Vanessa Walters, the author of The Lagos Wife In this stunning short story collection, nine Nigerian women discover what it means to confront traditional expectations that have held them hostage for too long. Meet Ifeoma. She's been ready to leave her violent husband for some time, but her plans for a quiet departure take an unexpectedly gruesome turn... Nkechi, a housemaid for a rich Lagos family, bears the weight of her Madam's wrath when she discovers her husband's dark secret. In London, Riliwa meets Mary, a guardian angel full of advice, wisdom and practical support as she navigates her unfamiliar new home and grapples with the immigrant experience. But it soon becomes clear that Mary's kindness comes at a price. Passionate, raw and full of heart, Fetto brings to life the rich diversity of Nigerian women's experiences in this powerful work of cultural literary fiction about the African diaspora.
