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.

評分故事還不錯,但沒滿足對尼日利亞背景的期待
評分很驚訝 居然是作者的處女作 用男女主雙視角自述 連接流暢 也沒有顯得很亂 鋪墊和渲染的恰到好處 人物性格在故事開始的一些對話中就已經露尖尖 文筆細膩 從來沒有一本小說可以讓我看每一句話都心驚膽戰 因為情節高潮不斷 小反轉好幾個 悲傷無奈的事總在發生 字裏行間可以體會到女主角的絕望 後來是哀莫大於心死瞭 好在第三個孩子沒有早逝 美中不足的就是介紹的政權背景沒能更好的和小說主綫結閤 有點突兀
