"His Only Wife" is a compelling and vibrant novel that follows Afi Tekple, a young seamstress from a small town in Ghana, who enters into a marriage of convenience with Elikem Ganyo, a wealthy businessman. The story explores themes of love, family loyalty, and the struggle for independence as Afi navigates her new life in Accra and discovers her own voice. Reviews "A deliciously pacey, keenly observed and beautifully written novel about a young woman finding her way in a society where the odds are stacked against her." - Yaa Gyasi, author of Homegoing "His Only Wife is a triumph - a vibrant, full-bodied portrait of a young woman finding her way in a world that would rather she didn't. Medie's debut is a joy to read, with characters who feel utterly real and a story that's as compelling as it is enlightening." - Chloe Benjamin, author of The Immortalists "Medie deftly explores the complexities of modern Ghanaian life, weaving a tale of family, class, gender, and identity that is as much a love story as it is a story of a woman's quest for independence and fulfillment. Effortlessly blending humor, insight, and deep emotion, His Only Wife marks the arrival of an exciting new voice in contemporary fiction." - Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
