This Kind of Trouble

"Brought to you by Penguin. ‘Where are the fragments of the life you have lived?’ 2005 In Atlanta, Benjamin, a white-passing man of Nigerian heritage, is wondering what his life has been made up of, broken relationships, attempts to forge an identity from others’ memories. In Lagos, Margaret, a Nigerian single mother, is trying to decipher and finally destroy the mental malaise that has troubled her for as long as she can remember, by winding her way through a complex family history. Though they are no longer the twenty-somethings they once were when they met, and the 40 years that have passed since they last saw one another might suggest they are strangers, there is a deep and unsettling history that has bound them together since long before they were born. 1905 A well-respected chief in Umumilo village, Nigeria, Okolo has always followed tradition. Then three of the young village women – including his sister, who follows the white man’s God – are shrouded in scandal, and Okolo is forced to choose which path to take: that of least resistance, embracing the ways of the white man to save his village and his sister’s pride, or the other, preserving the ways that have sustained generations – but at what cost? A beautifully crafted multi-generational story of family history and identity, This Kind of Trouble is a powerful debut that asks what makes up a life, and how when it’s broken, we might put it together again. © Tochi Eze 2025 (P) Penguin Audio 2025"

The Marriage Monitoring Aunties’ Association

"'It is lovely to see a story that centres an older female character with such honesty and warmth.’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'A must-read for anyone who believes love doesn’t have an expiration date.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Current status: Friendships – fantastic. Family – getting better. Career – promotion on the cards. Romance – *seriously delayed* Sade Sodipo is ready to meet ‘the one’ and finally fulfil the Nigerian Dream. So far God hasn’t performed that little miracle quite yet, but it’ll happen this year for sure. Especially if her mother, two best friends, younger sister and all those in the unofficial Marriage Monitoring Aunties Association, have anything to say about it. She might love her job, have great friends and even own her own home, but according to the meddling aunties, this is why she’s still single at 50. What if her prayers for the perfect man have got lost? Or maybe Sade’s happy-ever-after is right on time… – Readers are loving The Marriage Monitoring Aunties’ Association!! 'Utterly charmed by this poignant and witty exploration of love, singlehood, and the Nigerian matriarch.' Frances Mensah Williams 'No Ordinary Love story…Sade's journey will strike a chord — and the nerve — of anyone who's done time in the singleton trenches.’ Chioma Okereke, author of Water Baby 'Sometimes reflective, sometimes sobering, but always hopeful, The Marriage Minded Aunties Association is an artfully rendered celebration of love, heritage and the essence of belonging.’ Callie Browning, author of The Girl with the Hazel Eyes 'Sade’s story made me laugh, made me ache, and made me proud. Pick it up if you’re in the mood for a feel-good, soul-touching story with Nigerian aunties, romance, and plenty of wahala.' 'So funny and flirty!!'

'As soon as I saw the title, I knew it was going to be a good read and it didn't disappoint!' 'If you’re looking for a closed-door, later-in-life love story that’s culturally rich, faith-forward, and full of Nigerian aunties with plenty of opinions (and drama), this one’s well worth picking up. A soulful, engaging read with just the right amount of wahala.' 'I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and I loved how Nigerian it made me feel. It was all so relatable and the characters were both comical and annoying in a good way.' 'A fresh, fun, and heartwarming read' 'I know so little about Nigerian culture and loved learning new words and about the food and clothing and will be keeping an eye out for more books by Ola Awonubi.' 'I love this book so much' 'A warm, witty and refreshingly grown-up story about love, family and the pressures of cultural expectations. This is a heartfelt and engaging read, full of charm and relatable moments.' 'I absolutely loved this book. I’m a 36 yr old Christian, 1st gen Nigerian in the USA, single woman and I don’t think I’ve ever related to a story more.' 'That’s what I appreciated most about this story: it’s romantic, yes, but it’s also deeply grounded in self-respect, boundaries, and community.' 'Ola Awonubi delivers a witty, heartfelt, and refreshingly mature take on the search for love, faith, and fulfilment within the complexities of Nigerian culture and expectations.' 'I really loved this book! I can't wait to explore more works by this author!' 'Sade is such a departure from typical characters in contemporary books – she is a very successful Black woman who is 50.'"
