ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"Stay With Me" by Ayobami Adebayo tells the story of Yejide and Akin, a Nigerian couple struggling with infertility and societal pressures. Their marriage is further complicated by the introduction of a second wife and the cultural expectations surrounding childbearing. Yejide's emotional journey is marked by phantom pregnancies and the strain these place on her relationship and her sense of self. The novel is set against a backdrop of political instability in Nigeria and explores themes of tradition versus modern science, the weight of family expectations, and the impact of loss and betrayal. The narrative focuses on Yejide's perspective as she navigates these challenges.
