If They Tell the Story

In If They Tell the Story, Azuka fights for her soul, in a society that raised her to find her worth in a marriage and motherhood. In this deeply moving story, she loses everything and as she is about to lose herself to it all, she finds herself again, in the strangest of ways. Set partly in rural Eastern Nigeria and urban Lagos, the story shows how traditions hardly change even in cities, and how despite the evolution of roles in the society, women are still expected to stoop to conquer. When they choose not to be a stoop again, they have to pay the price – estrangement, emotional blackmail, physical abuse, and more.
