Book Reading: The Parlour Wife

Saturday, September 28, 2024

Join us for a special book reading of The Parlour Wife by Foluso Agbaje, hosted by Jola Ayeye.

Set in Lagos in 1939, The Parlour Wife tells the poignant story of Kehinde, a young Nigerian woman caught between the confines of forced marriage and the turbulent changes brought by World War II. As Kehinde navigates personal sacrifice and the fight for women’s rights, her journey becomes a powerful symbol of defiance in a world at war.
