the domestication of munachi
On a hot Sunday afternoon years ago…
…Two sisters walk in on their father’s sexual liaison with the family’s
hired help which leaves them both scarred in different ways.
Years later…
Unable to bear the thought of marriage to a man she barely knows, the
younger and more adventurous one, Munachi, runs away from home on the eve of
her traditional marriage, unwittingly resurrecting a long buried feud
between her religious mother and eccentric aunty. This conflict leaves a
door open for the family’s destruction.
The Domestication of Munachi is a novel about the unnecessary pressure on
women to take on life partners, regardless of who these partners are and the
psychological impacts seen through the stories of two sets of
sisters—Munachi and Nkechi versus Chimuanya and Elizabeth.
