The Bride Price by Buchi Emecheta
When her father dies, Aku-nna and her young brother have no one to look after them. They are welcomed by their uncle because of Aku-nna's 'bride price' - the money that her future husband will pay for her. In her new, strange home one man is kind to her and teaches her to become a woman. Soon they are in love, although everyone says he is not a suitable husband for her. The more the world tries to separate them, the more they are drawn together - until, finally, something has to break.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.
