Did not hold back

This book follows three different women in Cameroon who are struggling through forced marriage, domestic abuse and forced polygamy, while being told to have patience to make their husbands happy. It gives a stark view on how the forced polygamy causes added tensions and pits the women against each other and causes constant stress in the household that they are having to navigate on top of everything else.

This was not an easy read by any means, but a needed one.
