Stay With Me

"The desire – no, make that the need – to have a child is the driving force of this novel set in Nigeria at the turn of this century. A young couple, Akin and Yejide, are very much in love but they cannot get pregnant. When Akin’s mother insists he take a second wife so he can be a father, Yejide becomes increasingly desperate. But few readers will guess the lengths this couple will go to in order to have a family, and what should bring happiness ends in tragedy. This is a sad story but a compelling one that will keep you turning pages as the secrets and lies that underpin this marriage are revealed and the love that first brought them together begins to collapse under the weight of deception."
