Description
After nearly two decades in London, Kehinde Okolo returns to Lagos to join her husband, Albert—only to find that homecoming comes with a jarring collision of cultures, expectations, and power. As she navigates the noise, pace, and social realities of her native city, Kehinde is confronted with the role she is expected to play, and the life she must decide whether to accept or remake. With her characteristic clarity and emotional force, Buchi Emecheta crafts a story about identity, marriage, and the pursuit of independence, where family ties both shelter and constrain. At its heart, Kehinde is a novel of awakening—about what it costs to belong, and what it takes to choose oneself.
