This poignant short tale by the bestselling, multi-award winning author of Americanah and We Should All Be Feminists explores how a mother and daughter's emotional storms lead to a deep new understanding.
Zikora, a Nigerian lawyer in Washington, DC, tells her similarly powerful partner that she is expecting a child, and he leaves her. However, Zikora is reminded of a lonely little girl by her possessive and demanding mother who is in town for the delivery. Disturbed by how quickly her perfect existence disintegrated, Zikora begins to consider her mother's traumatic history and her fight for respectability. Zikora starts to realize more clearly as she gets ready to become a mother what her own mother wants for her, for her new child, and for herself.
