Quotes

Praise for Foluso Agbaje:

Chioma Okereke, author of

'A delightful and evocative journey that starts in the heart of a young woman in Lagos whose destiny is threatened when the clouds of family and societal expectations, thesecond World War and the new wave of change sweeping West Africa make their impact on her life and choices'

Ola Awonubi, author of

'We all studied WW2, but Nigeria’s role, as a British colony, doesn’t feature in many books. Agbaje corrects this in her poignant debut. I rooted for feisty Kehinde from the get-go. It’s not easy to be a feminist when you’re a third wife and destined for the parlour – her courage was wonderfully written'

Nikki May, author of and

'Written in a warm, compassionate voice, Foluso Agbaje’s is a harmonious marriage of historical events and memorable characters'
