Reading a Book by a Nigerian Author Changed My Life — Here Are 6 Others That Might Change Yours

Whenever anyone asks me to recommend a book — and trust me, it happens often — Stay With Me by Ayobami Adebayo is almost always my first choice. Set in Ilesa, Nigeria, it's the story of college sweethearts Yejide and Akin, who are struggling to get pregnant after four years of marriage. When Akin shows up with a second wife, things go awry, and a shocking chain of events ensue. Trust me when I say you'll be speechless all the way through and you'll never take a situation at face value again. Stay With Me is her debut novel and has racked up endless accolades since its release in early 2017.
