Happy August!
Another month means another book selection for our book club, and I do hope you’re reading along! What’s next? Stay with Me: a novel, by Ayobami Adebayo.
Here’s the official book blurb:
Yejide and Akin have been married since they met and fell in love at university. Though many have 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 has time – until her family arrives on her doorstep with a young woman they introduce as Akin’s second wife. Furious, shocked and live with jealousy, Yejide knows the only way to save her marriage is to get pregnant. Which, finally, she doe s- 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.
