Her eyes widened, and I knew she hadn’t expected me to be so direct. “Did you murder William Steele?” I asked, my voice steady and clear. “I am patient,” she said with a knowing smile.

I placed a voice recorder on the desk’s surface and pushed record. “You certainly have my full attention now.” She folded one leg over the other, the action slow and sensual. She hopped off the desk and eased into one of the seats facing me. Dallas stayed beside the entrance, just in case someone tried to enter-or Lilla tried to leave.

Torn from the headlines and inspired by current events, Sister Wife is a compelling portrait of a community where the laws of the outside world are ignored and where individuality is punished. How will Celeste find her way out of Unity? She wants something more for herself, yet feels powerless to change her destiny because rebelling would bring shame upon her family.Ĭeleste watches as Taviana leaves Unity, followed by Jon, and finally Craig, the boy who has taught her to think "outside the box." Although she is assigned to a caring man, his sixth wife, she is desperately unhappy. At fifteen she is repulsed at the thought of being assigned to an older man and becoming a sister wife, and she knows for certain she is not cut out to raise children. Whatever it is, she struggles to accept her ordained life. Perhaps it's because of Taviana, the girl who has come to live with them and entertains Celeste with forbidden stories, or Jon, the young man she has clandestine meetings with, or maybe it's the influence of Craig, the outsider she meets on the beach. ![]() Polygamy is the norm, strict obedience is expected and it is customary for young girls to be assigned to much older husbands.Ĭeleste was born and raised in Unity, yet she struggles to fit in.

The follow up to their incredibly imaginative and important 2018 novel Freshwater-which set such a high bar I didn’t think possible to clear-and the wonderful 2019 YA novel Pet, Emezi returns with a bittersweet and powerfully moving story set in their home of Nigeria and follows the lives of characters who, for a variety of reasons, don’t quite fit in. Have you ever wondered what it felt like finishing a novel before it was dubbed a “Classic?” Upon turning the final page in Akwaeke Emezi’s The Death of Vivek Oji I had the feeling I was finishing something that deserves to be important for a long time and could likely be a modern Classic. ‘ It was the clearest terror and pleasure I had ever known.’ ![]() ![]() ![]() She's particularly good at the whole strong-young-woman thing.
