Esi’s first husband is not just overbearing but a symbol of the patriarchal system she desperately wants to escape. In an effort to reclaim her autonomy and find excitement, she gets married to Ali in a polygamous marriage. 

Esi realises even this unconventional arrangement cannot shield her from the societal and personal compromises that come with love and marriage. 

An eye opening short read to be honest.
