It is a short story written by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichi, a Nigerian author of various literary works.
In this short story, Zikora is a successful lawyer. It captures her thoughts as she was in her final stages before giving birth. She was left by her boyfriend when she told him that she was pregnant. For a short story, various issues were directly related to the situation of Nigerian women – single motherhood, polygamy, sexism and preference for male children. Mother-daughter relationships and love are also explored in this story. I rated it four ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.
I read two of Adichie’s books before, the Purple Hibiscus and We should All Be Feminists which I both rated five ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.
