Nominated for the Baileys Women's Prize for Fiction 2017, included in the New York Times' list of 100 notable books of 2017, and recognized as one of the best books of the year by The Guardian and The Economist, "Stay With Me" tells the story of Yejide, who hopes for a miracle – a child. It is all her husband wants, all her mother-in-law wants, and she has tried everything. But when her relatives insist on a new wife, it becomes too much for Yejide. Set against the backdrop of social and political turmoil in 1980s Nigeria, "Stay With Me" explores the fragility of marital love, the disintegration of families, the power of grief, and the all-consuming bonds of motherhood. It is a story about the desperate attempts to save ourselves and the people we love from heartbreak.
