Smart and pretty, she has also been convinced by her mother to marry a man she doesn't know: a wealthy businessman named Elikem. His family has chosen Afi in the hopes that she will distract him from a current relationship they disapprove of. When Afi is moved from her small hometown to live in Accra, Ghana's gleaming capital full of wealth and sophistication, she is not prepared for the way her life will change. But she has agreed to this marriage in order to give her mother the financial security she desperately needs, and so Afi must see it through. Or must she? His Only Wife takes place in a world of men who want their wives to be beautiful, to be good cooks and mothers, to grant their husbands forbearance. And in Afi, we meet a delightful, brave, and relatable heroine who just may break all the rules." $c page 4 of cover. 586 $a "100 Notable Books 2020, The New York Times Book Review"--cover. 500 $a Originally published: 2020. 500 $a "Reader's guide and other special features inside." 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 650 0 $a Marriage $z Ghana $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Arranged marriage $z Ghana $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women dressmakers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women $x Social conditions $y 21st century $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women $z Ghana $x Social conditions $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women $z Ghana $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Arranged marriage. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815057 650 7 $a Manners and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007815 650 7 $a Marriage. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01010443 650 7 $a Women. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176568 650 7 $a Women dressmakers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177594 650 7 $a Women $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176947 651 0 $a Ghana $x Social life and customs $v Fiction. 651 7 $a Ghana. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01208741 655 7 $a Novels. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921742 655 7 $a novels. $2 aat $0 (CStmoGRI)aatgf300202580 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726589 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Humorous fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726649 655 7 $a Social problem fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01982507 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Humorous fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Social problem fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romans. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000475 830 0 $a Reese's book club. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117011755.0 952 $l XIPA157 $d 20230519013919.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DBF80E44AE9011EDA0B1416654ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
