Product details
The Middle Daughter is a moving literary novel that follows the life of Nani, a seventeen-year-old in Enugu, Nigeria, who is devastated by the sudden deaths of her beloved older sister, Udodi, and shortly after, her father. The family—once close-knit and joyful—splinters under the weight of grief. Nani, feeling misunderstood and isolated as her mother and younger sister try to move forward, becomes especially vulnerable.
Seeking comfort and belonging, Nani is drawn into the orbit of an itinerant preacher, Ephraim, whose attention and promises at first feel reassuring. However, her search for solace leads her into a deeply abusive marriage that cuts her off from her family and undermines her sense of self. Through motherhood, depression, and adversity, Nani must summon the courage to reclaim her autonomy and fight for a better life for herself and her children.
Set against the realities of modern Nigeria, the novel is a powerful reimagining of the Hades and Persephone myth, exploring the impact of loss, resilience, the bonds of sisterhood, and the quiet power of self-rediscovery.
