NOVEMBER BOOK PICK

THE PARLOUR WIFE

foluso agbaje

Set in Lagos, 1939, it follows Kehinde, a young woman whose dreams of writing are cut short when she’s forced to become the third wife of Mr. Ogunjobi after the start of World War Two. Though she finds some peace selling snacks at the market, her spirit is reignited when she joins the fight for women’s rights alongside the Lagos Market Women’s Association. Torn between duty and courage, Kehinde must decide: stay in her “parlour wife” role or fight for change.
