His Only Wife by Peace Adzo Medie is a compelling contemporary African novel that explores marriage, tradition, ambition, and female independence.
Set in Ghana, this internationally acclaimed story follows Afi Tekple, a young seamstress who agrees to an arranged marriage with a wealthy businessman she has never met.
But when her husband fails to show up at their wedding and continues living with another woman, Afi is forced to confront uncomfortable truths about love, status, and self-worth. As she moves from her small hometown to the bustling capital city of Accra, she begins discovering her own strength, voice, and dreams beyond societal expectations.
Rooted in modern Ghanaian culture, this novel blends romance, realism, and quiet empowerment. Peace Adzo Medie delivers a sharp, emotionally layered story about what it truly means to be “the only wife” and whether independence is worth the cost.
