House Woman (2023)
Adorah Nworah
"Adorah Nworah has written a deeply immersive and wrenching study of the life of a young woman in an arranged marriage and the thorny paths she must navigate in her quest for freedom. This debut shines with a brilliance that will run through you clean as an arrow. I've yet to read a story so gutting, yet tender and thoughtful in its handling of such an important subject."
