A publishing event ten years in the making—a searing, exquisite new novel by the best-selling and award-winning author of Americanah and We Should All Be Feminists—explores the loves, longings, and desires of four women. Chiamaka, a Nigerian travel writer in America, reflects on her past lovers while grappling with choices and regrets during the pandemic. Zikora, her best friend and a successful lawyer, faces betrayal and heartbreak, forcing her to seek solace from an unexpected source. Omelogor, Chiamaka’s bold cousin and a financial powerhouse in Nigeria, begins to question her self-identity. Kadiatou, Chiamaka’s housekeeper, is raising her daughter in America but confronts a devastating hardship that jeopardizes her achievements. In this novel, Adichie examines the essence of love and the pursuit of true happiness. She poses profound questions about self-honesty in love and the choices we make versus those made for us. With emotional urgency and poignant observations on motherhood and interconnectedness, the narrative pulses with beauty and power. This work further solidifies Adichie’s status as one of the most dynamic voices in contemporary literature.
