The Joys of Motherhood by Buchi Emecheta
Nnu Ego, a Nigerian woman, is ceremoniously married only to be cast off when she fails to conceive. When she finally succeeds in becoming a mother in a second marriage, Nnu Ego gains the respect of her family and her people. But as her family of eight children grows, the values of her rive, her people, and her country undergo bewildering changes, ultimately leaving her bereft of the pleasures that traditionally would be accorded her as a mother.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.
