Summary

Religious fervor culminates in an exorcism for one unfortunate maid. A harrowing encounter on a train haunts Anuli. A mother abandons her child in search of personal freedom. A wife joins her husband, only to be met with news that threatens their relationship. This richly imagined collage of interconnected stories follows Prosperous and Agu and the motley community of Nigerian expats who gather at their apartment each week. Their reality is one of dashed hopes, twisted love, and the pain of homesickness, even as they fight to make their way in this new world. Better Never than Late is a layered and affecting portrayal of the everyday absurdities and adversities of migrant life.
