À propos de cet audio

This celebrated, unforgettable first novel, short-listed for the prestigious Bailey's Prize and set in Nigeria, gives voice to both husband and wife as they tell the story of their marriage - and the forces that threaten to tear it apart.

Yejide and Akin have been married since they met and fell in love at university. Though many expected Akin to take several wives, he and Yejide have always agreed: Polygamy is not for them. But four years into their marriage - after consulting fertility doctors and healers, trying strange teas and unlikely cures - Yejide is still not pregnant. She assumes she still has time - until her family arrives on her doorstep with a young woman they introduce as Akin's second wife. Furious, shocked, and livid with jealousy, Yejide knows the only way to save her marriage is to get pregnant. Which, finally, she does - but at a cost far greater than she could have dared to imagine.

An electrifying novel of enormous emotional power, Stay with Me asks how much we can sacrifice for the sake of family.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"A bright, big-hearted demonstration of female spirit, as well as the damage done by the boundlessness of male pride." (The Guardian)

"Adebayo describes parenthood and love with heartbreaking prose. She deftly reveals secrets and the decisions that set life-altering events in motion. The story's fast pace brings surprising twists to Akin, Yejide, and their families' lives." (Booklist)

"Adjoa Andoh delivers a strong portrayal of this audiobook's main characters.... She virtually becomes the elder mothers and other family members who impact the couple's relationship.... This is a powerful novel that unfolds through Andoh's superb characterizations of the protagonists." (AudioFile)

I felt like I was actually experiencing the novel because of the beautiful way the author writes. And the audible narrators where absolutely fantastic. they did a good job with the nuances and inflections in some of the Nigerian/Yoruba intunations. Excellent read. I will re-read this book again for sure.

Exquisite novel. Every page reminded of Nigeria!

This was such a touching story, intricate but straightforward at the same time! Quite enjoyable and the narrator’s voice did not distract from the story at all which was a plus!

Touching

Captivating and touching story. I couldn't help but keep listening although the narrator sounded like a robot at first. I just got used to her voice and because the storyline was awesome the voice stopped bothering me after a while. I recommand listening to the sample before buying in case the narrator is unpleasant to you.

TERRIBLE NARRATOR
