This story is about a young Nigerian couple who desperately want children and the lengths they will go to make it happen. I know many women are consumed by wanting to be a mother and this book makes me relieved that I am not one of them.

Recommended but this one is quite sad so pick it up with that in mind.

This book was quickly engaging. I was hooked right away. Although the story centered on aspects that are foreign to me the author shows that relations are difficult no matter what the background and traditions are. I don't know that I loved any of the characters but I did care about them and wanted a happy ending. That wasn't really the purpose though. I think it was really a reflection on relationships and love. The inability of any of them to effectively communicate with each other was the root of so many problems and I think that is universal. Like I said I would have enjoyed a deeper connection to the characters so I would be a bit more invested but it wasn't necessary just my preference. ( )

The feelings I felt! So overwhelming and visceral, I groaned and paced and shouted. Stay With Me touches so many important themes about marriage, motherhood, culture and politics, mental illness, societal expectations, toxic masculinity, weaponized family bonds and sense of belonging, love, and fear and so much more. Yet, it just felt like the story of Yejide and Akin. Adebayo is amazingly talented, I can’t wait to read more of her work. ( )

When a young wife doesn‘t get pregnant, her mother-in-law forces a second wife into the marriage. This starts the narrative in which secrets are peeled back like an onion. In a culture where women‘s sole role is to bear babies, and the young wife wants to be independent (& the only wife) sad and disastrous things can happen. This is a dark book about sex and its dysfunction. ( )

Ayobami Adebayo’s sensitive, exposing first novel is about the lies and false hopes we tell ourselves to stay sane, and the cataclysmic impact the decisions we make can have on the people we love...The scope of Stay With Me is huge, and yet, the writing of it is painfully intimate, the problems and wounds so personal and tightly wrought that, at times, you want to put the book down and step away, as if, with every new revelation, you are further intruding, unforgivably, into this couple’s life.

Fortunately, the brilliance of Adebayo’s storytelling stops you.
 
In Nigerian society a childless woman is a tragedy, and considered to have probably brought it on herself. And it is not just her apparent inability to conceive that Yejide is up against. Her husband, Akin, has been coerced by his mother, Moomi, to take a second wife, in the hopes that he will get her pregnant instead. “You have had my son between your legs for two more months and still your stomach is flat,” Moomi tells Yejide when the new wife is also not yet pregnant. “Close your thighs to him, I beg you … If you don’t he will die childless. I beg you, don’t spoil my life. He is my first son, Yejide.”
Such animated dialogue is a delight throughout the novel, and Moomi’s voice is the loudest among the vivid, persuasive characters who bring this Yoruba community to life... though there is still room for growth, she has a thoroughly contemporary style that is all her own. Her clever and funny take on domestic life and Nigerian society is a welcome addition to her country’s burgeoning literary scene. Despite the intense sadness of her subject matter, she has produced a bright, big-hearted demonstration of female spirit, as well as the damage done by the boundlessness of male pride.
