Buchi Emecheta (1944-2017) was born in Lagos, Nigeria and moved to London in 1961. A writer and academic, she wrote sixteen novels, three children's stories and numerous articles and television plays.
I read and admired all her books ... The book I adored most was The
Joys of Motherhood, for its sparkling intelligence and a certain
kind of honest, lived, intimate insight into working-class colonial
Nigeria
*Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie*
A scorching portrayal of a woman's life in pre-independence Nigeria
. . . should be up there as the female, feminist counterpart to
Chinua Achebe's celebrated and widely taught novel Things Fall
Apart
*Bernardine Evaristo*
A rich, multilayered work of fiction, full of drama and written
with deceptive simplicity
*Essence*
Writes with subtlety, power, and abundant compassion
*New York Times*
Fresh and relevant . . . expertly and sensitively shines a light on
the distortion of traditional values
*Lit Hub*
