THE LAST GOOD BOOK I READ… Stay With Me by Ayobami Adebayo

 

Hadiza Isma El-Rufai said her last good read is Ayobami Adebayo’s ‘Stay With Me’. The story is another typical African tale about a couple under pressure to have a child. So, Akin and Yejide’s love is put to the test even as Akin’s family takes it upon themselves to get him a second wife.

 

Mrs. El-Rufai is First Lady of Kaduna State and author of ‘An Abundance of Scorpions’, a novel inspired by her work with orphans. She is founder of Yasmin El-Rufai Foundation, a non-profit literary organization. Bookshelf cornered her for a chat.
