WINNER OF THE 9MOBILE PRIZE FOR LITERATURE SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2017 BAILEYS WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2018 WELLCOME BOOK PRIZE LONGLISTED FOR THE 2018 INTERNATIONAL DYLAN THOMAS PRIZE Yejide is hoping for a miracle, for a child. It is all her husband wants, all her mother-in-law wants, and she has tried everything. But when her relatives insist upon a new wife, it is too much for Yejide to bear. Unravelling against the social and political turbulence of 1980s Nigeria, Stay With Me is a story of the fragility of married love, the undoing of family, the power of grief, and the all-consuming bonds of motherhood. It is a tale about the desperate attempts we make to save ourselves, and those we love, from heartbreak.©2017 Canongate Books Belletristik

Kritikerstimmen

Scorching, gripping, ultimately lovely (Margaret Atwood)
This terrific first novel (shortlisted for the Baileys women's prize for fiction) deals with the daily stresses of living with the political upheavals of the time but the real drama is happening in Yejide's womb. Adebayo unfolds the many layers of truth with insight and skill
A thoroughly contemporary style that is all her own . . . clever and funny . . . 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
Has a remarkable emotional resonance and depth of field [ . . . Adebayo] is an exceptional storyteller. She writes not just with extraordinary grace but with genuine wisdom about love and loss and the possibility of redemption. She has written a powerfully magnetic and heartbreaking book
One of the must-reads books of the year so far: Stay With Me has it all, including big themes of love, grief and jealousy, a fantastic female protagonist plus it reads like a page-turning thriller
Affecting and powerful . . . Adebayo's prose is a pleasure: immediate, unpretentious and flecked with whip-smart Nigerian-English dialogue
This deeply impressive novel of infertility, loneliness and longing is the first by the hotly-tipped Adebayo and it packs a tremendous punch
This confident and fearless writer challenges us to think about marriage from all perspectives in her first novel . . . Stay With Me is the closely observed, heartbreaking and original tale of the desperate attempts we make to save ourselves from severing the very bonds that make us
This impressive debut creates, in deceptively simple prose, a portrait of a marriage in crisis in a deeply patriarchal and oppressive society
This tale of a Nigerian couple under familial pressure to conceive is a subtle and unsentimental triumph . . . A tale of real complexity and humanity, part psychological observation and social study

havent read many stories on infant or child loss so k would definitely give that as content warning before you dive in. beautifully read, loved the different perspectives. these two storylines flowed beautifully together to give us the whole picture of their relationship. an heartwrenching take on how cultural and familial traditions and expectations impact individuals and their Romantic relations. I felt for both characters more than I thought I would and could feel the love they had for each other.

tearjerker about love, lost , and family

The story touched me deeply. Psychologically clever observations give you insights to what a good relationship really needs: honesty

The story shows how pride and social restraints can destroy relationships step by step.
The story stayed exiting because it contained several unexpected surprises. There are also important feminist messages inside this book.

After some really sad parts I was happy with the bittersweet happy end.

Adjoa Andoh is an incredibly good narrator, I would always recommend you to listen to her !

Sad and perfectly told story

The story was beautifully devastating, I couldn't process the magnitude of loss iyajide faced and the ending had me in tears. I love every bit but it broke my heart

Beautifully devastating

Don't miss out on this book. Real, captivating, sad but still hilarious...Thank you for writing this book Ayobami Adebay.

Also best narrator ever! At least for narrating books with african (Nigerian) characters. I recommend listening to audio books narrated by Adjoa Andoh. I have enjoyed them all.

Great book and very well narrated
