It’s all about the search for independence and being true to yourself and who you really are.”<br /> <i><b>—Reese Witherspoon</b></i><br /> Afi Tekple is a young seamstress in Ghana. Smart and pretty, she has&#160;also been convinced by her mother to marry a man she doesn’t know:&#160;a wealthy businessman named Elikem. His family has chosen Afi in the&#160;hopes that she will distract him from a current relationship they disapprove&#160;of. When Afi is moved from her small hometown to live in Accra, Ghana’s&#160;gleaming capital full of wealth and sophistication, she is not prepared for the&#160;way her life will change. But she has agreed to this marriage in order to give&#160;her mother the financial security she desperately needs, and so Afi must see&#160;it through. Or must she?<br /> A witty, moving, and smart debut novel, <i>His Only Wife</i> takes place in a&#160;world of men who want their wives to be beautiful, to be good cooks and&#160;mothers, to grant their husbands forbearance. And in Afi, we meet a&#160;delightful,&#160;brave, and relatable heroine who just may break all the rules.</p>. Media Type: eBook.
