Ideal for readers of literary and contemporary fiction, this pairing offers a rich introduction to one of Nigeria's most acclaimed novelists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nStay With Me, Adebayo's award-shortlisted debut, centres on Yejide, a young wife whose desperate longing for a child pushes her marriage to breaking point. Under pressure from a demanding mother-in-law and a husband who ultimately takes a second wife, Yejide is forced into choices that will haunt her for years. Set against the political unrest of 1980s Nigeria, the novel weaves grief, secrecy and enduring love into an unforgettable portrait of a marriage under strain. It was shortlisted for the Baileys Women's Prize for Fiction and the Wellcome Book Prize, and has since been translated into around twenty languages worldwide.\nA Spell of Good Things, Adebayo's Booker Prize-longlisted second novel, moves into a more contemporary Nigeria and follows two families on a collision course. Eniola is a tall, ambitious teenager whose family has fallen into poverty after his father loses his job, while Wuraola is an exhausted young doctor from a wealthier household, worn down by the demands of her first year in practice. When a local politician takes a sudden interest in Eniola and violence erupts at a family celebration, their two very different worlds are thrown together, exposing deep divides of class, power and privilege. Together, the two novels reveal Adebayo's skill at combining intimate character studies with sharp social commentary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo acclaimed novels from award-winning Nigerian author Ayobami Adebayo.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes Booker Prize-nominated A Spell of Good Things and Baileys Prize-shortlisted Stay With Me.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new paperback set, ideal for fans of contemporary and literary fiction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplores Nigerian family life, love, ambition and social division.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMakes a thoughtful gift for book clubs and literary readers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAyọ̀bámi Adébáyọ̀ was born in Lagos, Nigeria, and studied Literature in English at Obafemi Awolowo University, later completing an MA in Prose Fiction at the University of East Anglia.
