From the bestselling author of Nearly All the Men in Lagos Are Mad, affectionately dubbed the ‘queen of the banging book title,’ comes a vibrant, polyphonic novel that dives into the heart of family dynamics, nosy aunties, and the quest for a Brazilian butt lift.
At 20, fresh out of university, Témì has her future all mapped out: she’s determined to undergo surgery to enlarge her backside, just like many other Nigerian women. Her plan? Move from Ile-Ife to Lagos and meet a man who will love her unconditionally. However, when she chooses her father’s funeral as the moment to break the news to her mother, older sister, and judgmental aunties, the announcement sparks a chaotic uproar—because in Nigerian families, nothing remains private, especially not matters concerning your backside.
As the other women scramble to “fix” what they believe is Témì’s misguided decision, their own hidden secrets—long buried but never forgotten—start to unravel. Through the arguments, confrontations, and revelations, it becomes clear that Témì may actually be the most rational one in the family after all…
