My name is Ikemefuna Nwosu, and I am your wife. One day in Lagos,
young dancer Ikemefuna is put on a plane to Houston to meet her new
husband, Nna. Promises are made to her – about her education,
about the man she will marry, about her freedom. None of them are
kept. A few months later, self-professed feminist Nna finds a
beautiful woman cooking in his parents’ kitchen. They tell him
Ikemefuna is his wife, there to give them the grandson they’ve
been waiting for. She appears obedient, malleable. But she is no
ordinary wife. In the Texas heat, patience runs on short supply and
the atmosphere in the house becomes increasingly strained,
increasingly violent. Desperation makes people do strange things…
Unpredictable and unsettling, HOUSE WOMAN is a delicious thriller
you will never be able to forget. ‘A jaw-dropping debut of
intimate horror perfect for fans of Silvia Moreno-Garcia and Daisy
Johnson’ Amy Gentry, author of BAD HABITS ‘A modern successor
to Gaslight: disorienting and disturbing’ Kirkus Review
