A stunning collection of short stories capturing the lives of nine Nigerian women, each very different, each determined to fight for themselves.

* A Harper's Bazaar 'Best New Short-Story Collection' for 2025 *

* Shortlisted for the 2026 Jhalak Prose Prize *

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, full of heart and humour, these are stories about women who will not be broken by the challenges life puts in their way.

'Wow! I thought this collection was breathtaking. It packs such an emotional punch.' Jessica George, author of Maame
