I am so excited for February's book club pick! Someday, Maybe by Onyi Nwabineli is a beautiful story of grief, regret, acceptance, community, and family. I flew through the audiobook a few months ago and couldn't not believe this was the authors debut book!
We will be reading this one together in anticipation for our Zoom discussion with the author! For me, whenever I hear more about the book from the author, I can't help but feel more connected to the story. I am so excited to learn more from Onyi and how Someday, Maybe came about. I hope you read along with me this month!
For the synopsis:
"A stunning and witty debut novel about a young woman’s emotional journey through unimaginable loss, pulled along by her tight-knit Nigerian family, a posse of new friends, and the love and laughter she shared with her husband. Onyi Nwabineli is a fresh new voice for fans of Yaa Gyasi, Queenie and I May Destroy You.
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.
And here is one thing you should know about me:
1. I found him.
Bonus fact: No. I am not okay."
CW: suicide
