This month’s giveaway is Stay With Me by Ayobami Adebayo. A soon-to-be released first novel, written by a Nigerian author and set in Nigeria, the story gives a voice to both a husband and a wife as they tell the story of their marriage. After meeting and falling in love in college, Yejde and Akin marry and agree polygamy is not for them, though accepted in their culture. But, four years into their marriage, circumstances change.
A great emotional read with some interesting twists and turns that examines how much we can sacrifice for the sake of family.
To be entered to win an advance copy of this great read, just leave a comment on this post or on the Instagram post. I will pick a winner at random from those comments and any emails I receive.
This book makes for an excellent book group choice. If chosen by my own book group, I wouldn’t be surprised if our group hostess was authentic to Nigerian culture and served smashed yams!
