About this Event
Our November book club read is Only Big Bumbum Matters Tomorrow by Damilare Kuku
From the blurb:
From the bestselling author of Nearly All the Men in Lagos Are Mad comes a powerful polyphonic novel about family secrets, judgmental aunties, and Brazilian butt lifts.
Freshly out of university, 20-year-old Temi has a clear plan for her future: she is going to surgically enlarge her backside like all the other Nigerian women, move from Ile-Ife to Lagos, and meet a man who will love her senseless. When she finally finds the courage to tell her mother, older sister, and aunties, at the funeral of her beloved father, her announcement causes an uproar - because in Nigerian families, none of your business is private. Not even if it’s about your bumbum.
But as each of the other women try to cure Temi of what they consider to be insanity, the long-buried secrets that bind and separate them are spilled in the process. In the end, it seems like Temi might be the sanest of them all…
In Only Big Bumbum Matters Tomorrow, Damilare Kuku brings her signature humor, boldness, and compassion to each member of this loveable but exasperating family, whose lives reveal the ways in which a woman’s physical appearance can dictate her life and relationships and show just how sharp the double-edged sword of beauty can be.------------------------------------------------------------------------------
