No meetings, no deadlines, no pressure, just good reading! This month’s title is "Yinka, Where is Your Huzband?" by Lizzie Damilola Blackburn. Pick up a copy of the book at the Culture & AV desk.
Book Summary: Meet Yinka: a thirty-something, Oxford-educated, British Nigerian woman with a well-paid job, good friends, and a mother whose constant refrain is "Yinka, where is your huzband?"
Yinka's Nigerian aunties frequently pray for her delivery from singledom, her work friends think she's too traditional (she's saving herself for marriage!), her girlfriends think she needs to get over her ex already, and the men in her life... well, that's a whole other story.
But Yinka herself has always believed that true love will find her when the time is right.
“Modern and fresh. Like Bridget Jones, Yinka is a lovable and relatable disaster — which is to say, she isn’t actually a disaster at all ... I adore her.” —Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author of "People We Meet on Vacation"
