The story unfolds through Alaere’s diary entries, giving a first-person account of her struggles. One major theme is the stigma surrounding childlessness in marriage: though her husband Adelaja suffers from oligospermia (a condition affecting male fertility), Alaere endures societal blame to protect his pride. At work, Alaere faces various challenges including office politics, sexual harassment, and male chauvinism as she strives to build a successful career.
Her daily life is contrasted with Alhaji Wasiu, her talkative driver, who faces his own issues about having children but no male heir. Alaere's steadfast marriage to Adelaja, despite its difficulties, and her professional dedication help her stay resilient amid Lagos’s chaotic urban life, marked by poverty, moral decay, and traffic frustrations.
"Dear Alaere" is praised for its honest depiction of women’s lives in contemporary Nigeria, blending humor with poignant social commentary, making it a significant work on women’s empowerment and societal expectations.
