Acerca de esta escucha

The lives of two Nigerian women divided by class and social inequality intersect when they're kidnapped, held captive, and forced to await their fate together.

In the Nigerian city of Enugu, young Nwabulu, a housemaid since the age of ten, dreams of becoming a typist as she endures her employers' endless chores. She 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 jewelry 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.

Contains mature themes.

African women carry so much - satisfying read

Set in Nigeria, a beautiful African story of two women whose paths cross in the most mind blowing unexpected way. A young girl who’s lost her parents and left with a terrible stepmother becomes a Maid, dealing with physical and sexual abuse. Falls in love and gets pregnant out of ignorance. Goes back home to the same stepmother abuse and forced to marry a dead man so that the “mother in law” can take the child. Another woman who marries out of her mom’s manipulation to a man she doesn’t live, fakes being pregnant to trap the man but then she cannot conceive. A well written, amazingly narrated story that carries all the troubles of African women. I wish the happy ending was spelled out 😅 but it’s a better ending creatively I know. 4.5/5

African women carry so much pain and quite frankly so much NONSENSE (I don’t have the grace to come up with a more diplomatic word right now, just facts). But like it unfolds in the book, we also emerge as victorious, fearless warriors. Build strength and resilience from all these ridiculous expectations that society puts on us. We build so much from nothing and carry it all with so much grace and poise!!!! Eyhhh 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

A beautiful Piece

Such a real and relatable story! Well written! Nene Nwoko is as awesome as always, an amazing narrator! The Igbo culture and their traditions are almost annoying.

Beautiful and Conscious Narrative performance

Thanks for the conscious of getting a narrator with an Igbo experience.
The book is heart-wrenching and brings to the fore what it truly means to be called a parent as well as Igbo society's immense of having a male heir to carry on the family legacy.
