- Synopsis
- A Commonwealth Prize–winning novel of &“intense power . . . examining the role of women in modern African society&” by the acclaimed Ghanaian author (Publishers Weekly). Living in Ghana&’s capital city of Accra with a postgraduate degree and a career in data analysis, Esi Sekyi is a thoroughly modern African woman. Perhaps that is why she decides to divorce her husband after enduring yet another morning&’s marital rape. Though her friends and family are baffled by her decision (after all, he doesn&’t beat her!), Esi holds fast. When she falls in love with a married man—wealthy, and able to arrange a polygamous marriage—the modern woman finds herself trapped in a new set of problems. Witty and compelling, Aidoo&’s novel, according to Manthia Diawara, &“inaugurates a new realist style in African literature.&” In an afterword to this edition, Tuzyline Jita Allan &“places Aidoo&’s work in a historical context and helps introduce this remarkable writer [who] sheds light on women&’s problems around the globe&” (Publishers Weekly).
