Husband is useless by Chinkemkasimma Cassidy Chukwuma

Growing up in a loud neighborhood where privacy was a luxury nobody could afford, Sade learned early on that girlhood came with an unwritten, suffocating manual: stand properly, sit properly, don't laugh too loud, and never talk back at men. Raised without room for opinions, her only destination was to become someone’s wife. Sade becomes a wife twice over—first to cover a shame that was never hers to carry, and later because a woman without a husband is treated like a stray goat. When her second marriage proves just as confining, and forbidden desire enters her life in the most inconvenient form, Sade reaches her breaking point. She must choose between remaining the sharp-mouthed, obedient wife everyone expects or stepping into the fire as the woman who breaks the mold. LOUD, MESSY, HUMOROUS, AND UNFILTERED, Husband is Use captures the heartbeat of modern Nigerian womanhood, told in the authentic language and rhythm of the streets. It is a brilliant, gripping novel about rebellion, survival, and the slow-burning fire that erupts when a woman finally decides to endure no more.
