PENGUIN MODERN CLASSICS THE JOYS OF MOTHERHOO...

'A scorching portrayal of a woman's life . . . the female  feminist counterpart to Things Fall
Apart' Bernardine Evaristo 'God  when will you create a woman who will be fulfilled in herself
a full human being  not anybody's appendage? ... when will I be free?' There is no greater
honour for a woman in an Ibo village than to have children - especially sons. Unable to
conceive in her first marriage  Nnu Ego is sent away to a new husband in the city of Lagos 
where she finally succeeds in becoming a mother. But things are changing  and a war that
unfolds thousands of miles away threatens her family's fortunes and her entire way of life. In
a world where motherhood is everything  what will be left for her at the end of it all?
'Sparkling intelligence and a certain kind of honest  lived  intimate insight into
working-class colonial Nigeria' Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
