Here are three things you should know about my husband:

1. He was the great love of my life despite his penchant for going incommunicado.

2. He was, as far as I and everyone else could tell, perfectly happy. Which is significant because…

3. On New Year’s Eve, he committed suicide.

Eve is not okay. The devastating loss of her husband leaves her reeling, but everyone around her – her friends, her boisterous British-Nigerian family, her toxic mother-in-law – seems to be pushing her to move on. Unable to face the future, Eve begins looking back, delving through the history of her marriage in an attempt to understand where it went so wrong.

So begins an unconventional love story about loss, resilience, and a heroine bursting with rage and unexpected joy.

Someday, Maybe by Onyi Nwabineli captures the rawness of grief and the journey toward understanding, wrapped in a poignant narrative of love and resilience.
