Kehinde by Buchi Emecheta

Kehinde is a Nigerian woman, unsure of herself, not quite certain she has the right to be happy. With her husband, Albert, she has made a home in London, and has a promising career when Albert decides they should return to Nigeria. Kehinde is loath to do so, and joins him later, reluctantly, only to discover that he has taken a second, younger wife. Her years in England have left Kehinde unwilling and unprepared to reembrace Nigerian social mores; and unable to accept the situation, she returns to London.

Buchi Emecheta, who was born in Nigeria to Ibo parents, is well-known for her multifaceted novels about black women fighting to maintain their identities and build viable lives for themselves and their children. According to The New York Times, she writes with nuance, power, and a great deal of compassion. The Slave Girl, The Family, Wedding Price, and The Joys of Motherhood are among her many novels.
