en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 noi 2023
From award-winning author, Ifeoma Okoye, Behind the Clouds is the emotional story a woman trying to build a family under the societal pressures of 1970s Nigeria.Ije has visited every reputable faith healer, doctor, and herbalist she can find yet her desire to become a mother is proving impossible to fulfill. While her mother-in-law believes the blame should rest solely on the wife, her husband remains unfailingly supportive. That is until one day Ife arrives home to find a pregnant woman sitting in her house. She says she is the mother of her husband's child and she's here to take her rightful place in Ife's home...Raw and immensely thought-provoking, Okoye boldly captures the painful experience of being labelled a 'barren' woman in 1970s Nigeria.
