ReviewsLonglisted for the 2017 Baileys prize for Women's Fiction "Set against the turbulent backdrop of Nigeria in the Eighties, this deeply impressive novel of infertility, lonliness and longing is the first by the hotly-tipped Ayobami Adebayo and it packs a tremendous punch... Delivers genuine shocks in the form of both betrayal and murder... Adebayo remains in control throughout, while her characters, scarred and flawed as they are, lodge deep in the imagination." - Daily Mail (UK) "Ayobami Adebayo is an extremely talented and sensitive writer . . . Fantastic." -Uzodinma Iweala, author of Beasts of No Nation "Colourful, vibrant, energetic--a stunning tale of what happens when societal expectations collide with reality." --Tendai Huchu, author of The Hairdresser of Harare "Just when I thought I knew where the story was going, suddenly I was left wondering all over again. I read it late into the night--Ayobami Adebayo definitely owes me several hours of sleep!" --Chibundu Onuzo, author of The Spider King's Daughter "A compulsive read... Just brilliant. Adebayo is an astounding storyteller--an exciting addition to the emerging voices in African writing." --Jennifer Makumbi, author of Kintu and winner of the Commonwealth Short Story Prize

SynopsisA New York Times Notable Book The New York Times' Critics' Top Books of the Year Named a Best Book of the Year by San Francisco Chronicle , National Public Radio, The Economist, Buzzfeed, Paste Magazine, Southern Living , HelloGiggles, and Shelf Awareness Huffington Post's Best Feminist Books of the Year The New York Post's Most Thrilling and Fascinating Books of the Year The New York Public Library's Ten Best Books of the Year "A stunning debut novel." --Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times This celebrated, unforgettable first novel ("A bright, big-hearted demonstration of female spirit." - The Guardian ), shortlisted for the prestigious Women's Prize for Fiction and set in Nigeria, gives voice to both husband and wife as they tell the story of their marriage--and the forces that threaten to tear it apart. Yejide and Akin have been married since they met and fell in love at university. Though many expected Akin to take several wives, he and Yejide have always agreed: polygamy is not for them. But four years into their marriage--after consulting fertility doctors and healers, trying strange teas and unlikely cures--Yejide is still not pregnant. She assumes she still has time--until her family arrives on her doorstep with a young woman they introduce as Akin's second wife. Furious, shocked, and livid with jealousy, Yejide knows the only way to save her marriage is to get pregnant. Which, finally, she does--but at a cost far greater than she could have dared to imagine. An electrifying novel of enormous emotional power, Stay With Me asks how much we can sacrifice for the sake of family.
