Acerca de esta escucha

This lush and suspenseful Good Morning America Book Club pick “will have you glued to every page” (HuffPost) as it follows a woman to Nigeria to uncover what happened to her missing estranged niece…no matter the cost.

Previously published as The Nigerwife.

Nicole Oruwari has the perfect life: a handsome husband, a palatial house in the heart of Lagos, and a glamorous group of friends. She left gloomy London and a troubled family past behind for sunny Lagos, becoming part of the Nigerwives—a community of foreign women married to Nigerian men.

But when Nicole disappears without a trace after a boat trip, the cracks in her alleged perfect life start to show. As the investigation turns up nothing but dead ends, her auntie Claudine decides to take matters into her own hands. Armed with only a cell phone and a plane ticket to Nigeria, she digs into her niece’s life and uncovers a hidden side filled with dark secrets, isolation, and even violence. But the more she discovers about Nicole, the more Claudine’s own buried history threatens to come to light.

Offering a razor-sharp look at the bonds of family, the echoing consequences of secrets, and whether we can ever truly outrun our past, The Lagos Wife “is a gripping work of suspense, a psychological puzzle, a mystery, and a critique of marriage and high society” (Shelf Awareness).

Editorial Review

What happened to Nicole?
Vanessa Walters’ debut novel is more than a story about the missing wife of a Nigerian businessman. Nicole Oruwari’s disappearance sends shock waves through her close-knit community of “Nigerwives”—foreign women married to Nigerian men—and when her aunt Claudine travels from London to Lagos to find her, uncomfortable truths and long-buried secrets are revealed. Narrators Dami Olukoya and Debra Michaels collaborate beautifully on the alternating chapters between the two women. From Olukoya we learn about the months prior to Nicole’s fateful boat trip, while Michaels embodies Claudine with a fierce determination to find her niece. Based on her own experience as a Nigerwife, Walters’ keen insights into the loss of identity and cultural isolation Nicole endures layers this story with indelible grit. —Margaret H., Audible Editor

Relatable experiences

I really enjoyed this book. As an African American married to a Nigerian man and living in Nigeria I could relate to the feelings, themes and cultural experiences described. Great storytelling and plot twists.

Interesting Story

Found the story to be very interesting. However, the ending was a bit disappointing- lacked closure- maybe there will be a book 2.

Excellent

An excellent listen. Complex characters. Unapologetic. Emotional depth. Would definitely recommend. I can see why HBO bought the script. Will make great movie.

Loved this book

I wasn't sure what to expect when I started this book but I was engaged from the start. Loved learning about this African ciry and its customs and people. Well written, well performed, highly recommended.

Great production and story

Highly recommend this book. The narration was superb and I loved both the plot as well as the cultural context and setting. It was clear that the author had experienced first hand being a Niger wife. Excellent listen!
