Eniola looks older than his age: not a boy, but a man. And his problems are beyond his years, far from childish: as a schoolboy, he's forced to find money to help his family survive.

But once upon a time, everything was fine, truly fine, until his father lost his job. A formerly respected man, a history teacher, now he rarely leaves the couch, weighed down by grief.

Vuraola, the golden girl, the perfect daughter from a perfect family, has a completely different life. But it's not her successful studies and career as a doctor that make her parents proud, but a marriage proposal from a respected man. How can Vuraola bring herself to admit to her parents (and even to herself) that all is not well in her relationship?

It seems that these characters come not just from different social classes, but from different worlds. But these worlds will tragically collide.

In his gripping second novel, Ayobami Adebayo reveals a Nigeria divided by a yawning chasm between the haves and have-nots, and the humanity that lives in the middle.
