520    “Elikem married me in absentia; he did not come to our 
       wedding.”  Afi Tekple is a young seamstress whose life is 
       narrowing rapidly. She lives in a small town in Ghana with
       her widowed mother, spending much of her time in her uncle
       Pious’s house with his many wives and children. Then one 
       day she is offered a life-changing opportunity—a proposal 
       of marriage from the wealthy family of Elikem Ganyo, a man
       she doesn’t truly know. She acquiesces, but soon realizes 
       that Elikem is not quite the catch he seemed. He sends a 
       stand-in to his own wedding, and only weeks after Afi is 
       married and installed in a plush apartment in the capital 
       city of Accra does she meet her new husband. It turns out 
       that he is in love with another woman, whom his family 
       disapproves of; Afi is supposed to win him back on their 
       behalf. But it is Accra that eventually wins Afi’s heart 
       and gives her a life of independence that she never could 
       have imagined for herself.  A brilliant scholar and a 
       fierce advocate for women’s rights, author Peace Adzo 
       Medie infuses her debut novel with intelligence and humor.
       For readers of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Candice Carty-
       Williams, His Only Wife is the story of an indomitable and
       relatable heroine that illuminates what it means to be a 
       woman in a rapidly changing world.
