'A scorching portrayal of a woman's life . . . the female, feminist
counterpart to Things Fall Apart' Bernardine Evaristo 'God, when
will you create a woman who will be fulfilled in herself, a full
human being, not anybody's appendage? ... when will I be free?'
There is no greater honour for a woman in an Ibo village than to
have children - especially sons. Unable to conceive in her first
marriage, Nnu Ego is sent away to a new husband in the city of
Lagos, where she finally succeeds in becoming a mother. But things
are changing, and a war that unfolds thousands of miles away
threatens her family's fortunes and her entire way of life. In a
world where motherhood is everything, what will be left for her at
the end of it all? 'Sparkling intelligence and a certain kind of
honest, lived, intimate insight into working-class colonial
Nigeria' Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
