TOMORROW I BECOME A WOMAN - AIWANOSE ODAFEN KAR...

Uju is a daughter her mother never wanted. When she meets Gozie in 1978  he seems like the
perfect man – charismatic  Christian and Igbo – so she agrees to marry him in the hope of
attaining her mother’s approval. Gozie reminds her of her beloved Uncle Ikenna  her mother’s
brother who disappeared fighting in the Civil War that devastated Nigeria. But Uju has
lingering feelings for Akin – a man her mother would never accept as his tribe fought on the
other side of the war. Tomorrow I Become a Woman explores a complex relationship between mother
and daughter  a woman’s struggle to meet societal and cultural expectations within the confines
of an abusive marriage  and a love story that spans decades and continents against a backdrop
of political turmoil in a fast-changing world. Uju is a woman trying to be modern in a country
that wants her to be traditional. Inspired by the lives of real women – and with the theme of
female friendship as a source of hope  laughter and empowerment throughout – this is a feminist
novel that gently educates.
