Hail Mary - Stories

In this debut story collection, British-Nigerian arts and culture writer Funmi Fetto reveals the complexities of African diasporic womanhood, building worlds in which African women write and rewrite the narratives that shape their existence. From a Nigerian migrant worker conned out of her earnings in London to a recently widowed housewife rediscovering her suppressed African heritage, a long-suffering wife who poisons her husband to a woman whose family secrets endanger her upcoming marriage, Hail Mary illuminates the private lives of Nigerian women in ten searing stories of longing and belonging, survival and triumph, death and rebirth each featuring a very different Nigerian woman at a crossroads.
