Ama Ata Aidoo

Aidoo's spare, sharp love story follows Esi, a successful Accra statistician who leaves a husband she finds stifling, only to become the second wife of a charming businessman and confront afresh the bargains marriage demands of a modern African woman. The real city frames it: the government office where Esi works, the comfortable bungalows of the professional class, the businessman Ali's downtown enterprise, and the restaurants and streets of a booming Accra caught between tradition and change.
