His Only Wife

Afi Tekple Is A Young Seamstress Whose Life Is Narrowing Rapidly. She Lives In A Small Town In Ghana With Her Widowed Mother, Spending Much Of Her Time In Her Uncle Pious’S House With His Many Wives And Children. Then One Day She Is Offered A Life-Changing Opportunity—A Proposal Of Marriage From The Wealthy Family Of Elikem Ganyo, A Man She Doesn’T Truly Know. She Acquiesces, But Soon Realizes That Elikem Is Not Quite The Catch He Seemed. He Sends A Stand-In To His Own Wedding, And Only Weeks After Afi Is Married And Installed In A Plush Apartment In The Capital City Of Accra Does She Meet Her New Husband. It Turns Out That He Is In Love With Another Woman, Whom His Family Disapproves Of; Afi Is Supposed To Win Him Back On Their Behalf. But It Is Accra That Eventually Wins Afi’S Heart And Gives Her A Life Of Independence That She Never Could Have Imagined For Herself.
