The Son of the House

Nwabulu dreams of becoming a typist, although she's been a housemaid since childhood. Julie is educated and happy to collect the jewellery Eugene brings her but has no intention of becoming his second wife. When events force the two women together, they relate the stories of their lives as they await their fate. This debut celebrates the resilience of women as they navigate a man's world.
