A New York Times Notable Book and The New York Times’
Critics’ Top Books of the Year. This celebrated, unforgettable
first novel gives voice to both husband and wife as they tell
the story of their marriage--and the forces that threaten to
tear it apart. Yejide and Akin have been married since they met
and fell in love at university. Though many expected Akin to
take several wives, he and Yejide have always agreed: polygamy
is not for them. But four years into their marriage--after
consulting fertility doctors and healers, trying strange teas
and unlikely cures--Yejide is still not pregnant. She assumes
she still has time--until her family arrives on her doorstep
with a young woman they introduce as Akin's second wife.
Furious, shocked, and livid with jealousy, Yejide knows the only
way to save her marriage is to get pregnant. Which, finally, she
does--but at a cost far greater than she could have dared to
imagine. An electrifying novel of enormous emotional power, Stay
With Me asks how much we can sacrifice for the sake of family.
Characters: 48. Amazon rating: 4 1/2 stars. Genre: Fiction.
