In the city of Enugu in the 1970s, young Nwabulu dreams of becoming a typist as she endures her employers' endless chores. Although a housemaid since the age of ten, she is tall and beautiful and in love with a rich man's son. Educated and privileged, Julie is a modern woman. Living on her own, she is happy to collect the gold jewellery love-struck Eugene brings her, but has no intention of becoming his second wife. When dramatic events straight out of a movie force Nwabulu and Julie into a dank room years later, the two women relate the stories of their lives as they await their fate. Pulsing with vitality and intense human drama, Cheluchi Onyemelukwe-Onuobia's debut is set against four decades of vibrant Nigeria, and celebrates the resilience of women as they navigate and transform what remains a man's world."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Kidnapping $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Social classes $z Africa $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Nigeria $v Fiction. 941 $a 5 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010025953.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20220804024300.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20210910010256.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20210803010852.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210701010309.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A3C2652CDA3111EB950CCE9F56ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
