Resumen del Editor

GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK

“The perfect beach read…catapults you into a world that most of us have never seen before—and will have you glued to every page.” —HuffPost

White Lotus meets Big Little Lies” (Good Morning America) in this riveting domestic drama about a young woman who goes missing in Lagos, Nigeria, and her estranged auntie who will stop at nothing to find her.

Nicole Oruwari has the perfect life: a hand­some husband, a palatial house in the heart of glittering Lagos, and a glamorous group of friends. She left gloomy London and a troubled family past behind for sunny, moneyed Lagos, becoming part of the Nigerwives—a com­munity of foreign women married to Nigerian men.

But when Nicole disappears without a trace after a boat trip, the cracks in her so-called perfect life start to show. As the investigation turns up nothing but dead ends, her auntie Claudine decides to take matters into her own hands. Armed with only a cell phone and a plane ticket to Nigeria, she digs into her niece’s life and uncov­ers a hidden side filled with dark secrets, isolation, and even violence. But the more she discovers about Nicole, the more Claudine’s own buried history threatens to come to light.

An inventively told and keenly observant debut novel, The Nigerwife offers a razor-sharp look at the bonds of family, the echoing consequences of secrets, and whether we can ever truly outrun our past.

Editorial Review

What happened to Nicole?
Vanessa Walters’ debut novel is more than a story about the missing wife of a Nigerian businessman. Nicole Oruwari’s disappearance sends shock waves through her close-knit community of “Nigerwives”—foreign women married to Nigerian men—and when her aunt Claudine travels from London to Lagos to find her, uncomfortable truths and long-buried secrets are revealed. Narrators Dami Olukoya and Debra Michaels collaborate beautifully on the alternating chapters between the two women. From Olukoya we learn about the months prior to Nicole’s fateful boat trip, while Michaels embodies Claudine with a fierce determination to find her niece. Based on her own experience as a Nigerwife, Walters’ keen insights into the loss of identity and cultural isolation Nicole endures layers this story with indelible grit. —Margaret H., Audible Editor

Interesting Story

Found the story to be very interesting. However, the ending was a bit disappointing- lacked closure- maybe there will be a book 2.

Excellent

An excellent listen. Complex characters. Unapologetic. Emotional depth. Would definitely recommend. I can see why HBO bought the script. Will make great movie.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I started this book but I was engaged from the start. Loved learning about this African ciry and its customs and people. Well written, well performed, highly recommended.

Great production and story

Highly recommend this book. The narration was superb and I loved both the plot as well as the cultural context and setting. It was clear that the author had experienced first hand being a Niger wife. Excellent listen!

Great story!!!!

I have to admit this story was truly enjoyable from start to finish, what amazing roller coaster ride. Vanessa Walters did an amazing job. I would highly recommend this book, an aunt desperately looking for her niece in Nigeria, running into many road blocks.
