Synopsis
In Lagos, a choir master falls in love with a tall, beautiful young woman who does not yet know who he is.
By the time she does, she has given him four children, a lifetime of grace - and the quiet, devastating entirety of herself.
Told through the eyes of Simi, their eldest daughter, this is the story of a proud Yoruba patriarch who took five wives and countless mistresses - and the woman who survived him. Not by leaving, but by building her freedom in secret, one silent year at a time.
He feasted on life while she paid the price.
A novel about polygamy, betrayal, the silence women keep - and the particular, extraordinary strength of a mother who refused to be only what happened to her.
