Ogadinma – Everything Will Be Allright by Ukamaka Olisakwe

A bold, unforgettable story of resilience, womanhood, and liberation.*

Set in 1980s Nigeria, *Ogadinma* follows a young woman whose life is upended by betrayal, exile, and forced marriage. After surviving sexual violence and an unwanted pregnancy, Ogadinma is sent from Kano to Lagos, where she’s pressured into marrying a much older man. What begins as a whirlwind romance quickly spirals into abuse and indignity.

But Ogadinma refuses to be broken.

With fierce determination and quiet strength, she begins to reclaim her voice, her freedom, and her future. This powerful debut from Ukamaka Olisakwe introduces a heroine who defies the odds and a writer who masterfully exposes the realities of patriarchy with grace and grit.
