About The Book

In this stunning collection, nine Nigerian women discover what it means to confront traditional expectations that have held them hostage for too long.

Meet Ifeoma. She's been ready to leave her violent husband for some time, but her plans for a quiet departure take an unexpectedly gruesome turn...

Nkechi, a housemaid for a rich Lagos family, bears the weight of her Madam's wrath when she discovers her husband's dark secret.

In London, Riliwa meets Mary, a guardian angel full of advice, wisdom and practical support as she navigates her unfamiliar new home. But it soon becomes clear that Mary's kindness comes at a price.

Passionate, raw, and full of heart, Fetto brings to life the rich diversity of Nigerian women's experiences in these wide-ranging stories.
