Description

A poignant love story set against the backdrop of cultural change, "The Bride Price" tells the tale of Aku-nna and Chike, two young people drawn together despite the traditions that forbid their marriage. As they navigate the complexities of their world, they must confront the fears and expectations that threaten to tear them apart. Aku-nna's desire for freedom and love is tested by the societal norms that seek to control her life. Her decision to flee an unwanted marriage sets in motion a chain of events that will challenge everything she thought she knew about herself and her place in the world. This second edition includes a new introduction by Dr. Marie Linton Umeh, adding depth and context to this powerful exploration of love, identity, and cultural heritage.
