A powerful Nigerian novel celebrating the resilience of women. In the city of Enugu in the 1970s, young Nwabulu dreams of becoming a typist as she endures her employers? endless chores. She has been a housemaid since the age of ten. Enugu is tall and beautiful and in love with a rich man?s son. Educated and privileged, Julie is a modern woman. Living on her own, she is happy to collect the gold jewellery lovestruck Eugene brings her, but has no intention of becoming his second wife. When a kidnapping forces Nwabulu and Julie into a dank room years later, the two women relate the stories of their lives as they await their fate. Pulsing with vitality and intense human drama, Cheluchi Onyemelukwe-Onuobia?s debut is set against four decades of vibrant Nigeria, celebrating the resilience of women as they navigate and transform what remains a man?s world.
