His Only Wife

This was such a fun story that had me hooked from the first chapter. When Afi is given the opportunity to repay a family debt by marrying the son of a powerful local woman in her rural Ghanaian town, she is shocked to find out that her new husband--who didn't even bother showing up to the wedding--is in love with someone else, and that his family expects her to "rescue" her new husband from the clutches of his lover. While navigating the tense waters of this awkward arrangement, Afi manages to fall in love with her husband, even if his commitment to her seems to wax and wane. Eventually, she comes into her own in Accra, building herself a successful career as a fashion designer, and I loved following her successes and heartbreaks along the way. Would definitely recommend.

There is very little, if any, personal development/self improvement on the part of the MC during the course of the story. I'm not sure what the point was supposed to be; or maybe it's more accurate to say that I don't think the point was achieved.
