I was not surprised by the ending as it felt predictable based on the type of man Eli is. A man, a family? Maybe, but not if the man is not 100% in. As the story progresses, we see her get stronger as she realizes what is most important to her. Much of this story is about a woman learning to speak her voice, and even more importantly it’s about being heard. Afi is not okay with this but is being continually coerced to live with a part-time husband in a rented flat, rather than live in his mansion and what should be her true home. Yes, apparently that’s a thing, not necessarily common, but it happens.Īlthough her groom Eli, is living with and in love with another woman, his family is certain, that he’ll give up his baby mama and relationship to be with our protagonist, Afi. ![]() This book starts with a wow, as the bride is getting married to a groom in absentia. His Only Wife by Peace Adzo Medie is a fascinating look into a complicated arranged marriage in Ghana. ![]()
