A COMPELLING STORY CELEBRATING THE RESILIENCE OF TWO WOMEN AS THEY
NAVIGATE WHAT REMAINS A STRONGLY PATRIARCHAL NIGERIA "I absolutely
loved his book. Nwabulu and Julie are incredible, fully formed and
fully flaw, characters that walk straight off the page and nestle
in your heart as you read on." Simon Savidge, The Frank Magazine
Nwabulu has been a housemaid since the age of ten but her dreams of
becoming a typist are never weakened by the endless chores she is
tasked with by her employers. She has fallen in love with a rich
man's son. Julie is a modern woman, educated and independent. She
has no intention of becoming love-struck Eugene's second wife but
allows herself to enjoy his extravagant gifts. When dramatic events
force Nwabulu and Julie into a dank room, the two women relate the
stories of their contrasting experiences as they await their fate.
Set against four decades of Nigerian history, The Son of the House
is a stunning debut pulsing with vitality and intense human drama.
