À propos de cet audio
"A warm, smart, hilarious, delicious, riveting" (Curtis Sittenfeld) debut about the uncomfortable, unbreakable ties of family as four adult siblings come home to confront the state of their own lives and each other
The Longe siblings are really botching their parents' American Dream.
Sola Longe, eldest daughter, estranged from the family, is secretly back home in Chicago for the first time in a decade. She’s a newly single and recently disgraced influencer trying to quietly put her life back together again. The other three Longe siblings aren't doing much better.
Anjola is in love with her best friend, who just got engaged to someone else; Karen, a college junior and the baby of the family, is grappling with her sexuality and self-image; and Ola, the golden child with a baby of his own on the way, is questioning his marriage and how to raise a Black son in America.
Sola’s unexpected return sets them on a crash course towards each other, and when the four siblings find themselves together again at their Nigerian immigrant parents' Thanksgiving table, a decade’s worth of secrets and a lifetime of resentments explode to the fore.
In the wreckage of their fateful reunion, each Longe is forced to reckon with the past, take stock of what really matters, and find a way back to each other. Big-hearted, hilarious, and poignant, Leave Your Mess At Home is an insightful debut about forgiveness, unconditional love, and becoming who you want to be, asking the question: what do we owe to our families, and what do we owe to ourselves?
Ce que les critiques en disent
“I already know Leave Your Mess at Home will be one of my (and your?) favorite books of 2026—it's such a warm, smart, hilarious, delicious, riveting messed-up-adult-siblings novel and I totally loved it.”—Curtis Sittenfeld, NYT bestselling author of Romantic Comedy
“Tolani Akinola is a gifted, powerful new voice in American fiction. Her writing is sharp and wonderfully textured—capturing the nuances and complexities and, yes, messiness of the relationships within one immigrant family, in every permutation. There are multiple messes in Leave Your Mess At Home; I loved reading about every one of them. This is a novel that captures the reality of our imperfect ways of loving—and reminds us that love still matters.” —Rachel Khong, New York Times bestselling author of Real Americans
“Leave Your Mess At Home has all the long-buried secrets, simmering rivalries, and siblings failing at adulthood you could want from a family drama. It has all the love, sex, and scandal you could ask from a page-turner. It’s full of smart, generous, timely exploration of issues of immigration, race, class, violence, gender, sexuality, social media, generational dynamics…this book covers a lot of impressive ground. In short, whatever you love in a novel, you’ll find it in this one. Tolani Akinola’s debut has it all.”—Laurie Frankel, New York Times bestselling author of This Is How It Always Is and Family, Family
