Story
One night in Lagos, two former friends reunite. Obinna is a dutiful and unsophisticated stay-at-home husband and father married to a powerful businesswoman. Eze is single, a cautious rebel from his university days whose arrival soon upsets the balance in Obinna’s life. In a world where men are constantly under surveillance and subject to the whims of powerful women, more than Obinna’s ordered and accustomed routine might be on the line.

We experience this tumultuous decade alongside five unforgettable characters: Ugwu, a 13-year-old houseboy working for Odenigbo, a university professor full of revolutionary zeal; Olanna, the professor’s beautiful young mistress who's abandoned her life in Lagos for a dusty town and her lover’s charm; and Richard, a shy young Englishman infatuated with Olanna’s willful twin sister Kainene.

The defining experience of Chinua Achebe's life was the Nigerian civil war, also known as the Biafran War, of 1967-1970. The conflict was infamous for its savage impact on the Biafran people, Chinua Achebe's people, many of whom were starved to death after the Nigerian government blockaded their borders. Immediately after, Achebe took refuge in an academic post in the United States, and for more than 40 years he has maintained a considered silence on the events of those terrible years. Now, decades in the making, comes a towering reckoning with one of modern Africa's most fateful events.

Publisher's Summary
The emotional storms weathered by a mother and daughter yield a profound new understanding in a moving short story by the best-selling, award-winning author of Americanah and We Should All Be Feminists.
When Zikora, a DC lawyer from Nigeria, tells her equally high-powered lover that she’s pregnant, he abandons her. But it’s Zikora’s demanding, self-possessed mother, in town for the birth, who makes Zikora feel like a lonely little girl all over again. Stunned by the speed with which her ideal life fell apart, she turns to reflecting on her mother’s painful past and struggle for dignity. Preparing for motherhood, Zikora begins to see more clearly what her own mother wants for her, for her new baby, and for herself.
Critic Reviews
“The actor Adepero Oduye as narrator shifts seamlessly between characters, and I hung onto her every word.” (The New York Times)
“The multitalented actress, director, singer, and writer Adepero Oduye provides an outstanding Nigerian-accented narration, charting Zikora's thoughts and feelings surrounding her failed relationship, her attempts to navigate new motherhood as a professional woman, and her developing understanding of her own mother's challenging relationship with Zikora's father in Nigeria.” (AudioFile Magazine)
“[Adichie] is delivering brand-new material to a world that needs her talents more than ever.” (Entertainment Weekly)

Great quick listen.
I really enjoyed this short story. Thanks for using a person with an authentic Nigerian accent! Not having someone who can pronounce the words correctly has been a barrier to purchasing books by African authors here.
I didn't want this story to end. It felt so real and I know someone in real life who can fit each character.

Adichie’s mastery!
The character of Zikora cut deep into the female psyche - the push and pull of motherhood balanced with the difficulty, comfort, neediness and conflict in a mother-daughter relationship. I marvel at Adichie’s ability to navigate between two cultures and the line that recent immigrants have to walk between their compulsions and pressures of their traditions and the lure of America’s newness and the possibility of living life on one’s own terms. She is indeed a master of her craft

Visceral, real, and beautiful
This story is so important and beautifully written. The daughter becomes the mother and has a very real reality check about life, parenting, motherhood, love, loss, rejection, and womanhood. She becomes the reflection of her mother whom she thought weak, as she faces the truths about choices, controlled circumstances, freedoms and the loss of each.
I don't have enough words to describe how powerful the truths of this story sound.
Simply Brilliant!

Enthralling
A very enthralling relatable story. Took me back to the L&D when birthing my first child, though my mother was not as cold as Zikora’s. I remember the nurse telling me that they were ready to administer the epidural and my mother saying, ‘I don’t think we need it anymore.’ My quick retort was, ‘mum there are no awards for bearing pain! Nurse, please how do you want me to position my back?’
As a Nigerian though, I could tell that the narrator is Yoruba. The way she pronounced the Igbo names and words. In particular, her Yoruba accent was pronounced when she narrated the parts for Zikora’s father; I envisioned a Yoruba man speaking.
I was unprepared for the abrupt end. I want MORE!

Moving Story
I'm in awe of the completeness of this short story. I felt like I knew everything about Zikora's current situation and her innermost thoughts. I just wanted to know what happens next!
I loved the narration of this book! The narrator Adepero Oduye makes you feel like you are sitting down with your Nigerian girlfriend, Zikora, as she tells you about her pregnancy and relationship with Kwame. Oduye imparted a sense of intimacy as she tells of Zikora's unsuccessful relationship and challenges with motherhood. The narrator also makes seamless switches between the Nigerian accent and an American one to differentiate the characters.
