About this listen

We're diving into our book of the month for July, "My Parents' Marriage" by Nana Ekua Brew-Hammond. This is a story about a complicated but all too familiar (for us West Africans) family dynamic, and a daughter who is determined not to repeat the past. In this review we discuss various themes from the book including polygamy, secret families, and the games women play to survive in patriarchal systems.
