The Middle Daughter

Product Information

As a book club read for the month of June, we had a schedule but once I began I could not put it down. I just had to finish! If you are like most parents, one of your top concerns is making sure your kids are properly clothed for all occasions. You want them to look their best and feel comfortable while attending school functions and special events. You also want them to be able to wear what they want when they want, without having to worry about how it looks or if it's too tight or too loose. The Middle Daughter Dress team would like to share some tips on how to choose the right size for your kids.

THE MIDDLE DAUGHTER is a hard, hard read. Equally hard to understand, for anyone, is Nani's decision to stay with her husband. I wanted a retelling of this myth that is both contemporary, culturally relevant (to me) and redresses the wrong done to Persephone. First, take into account your child's body type. Are they long and lean with a small waist? Do they have more curves in their figure? Do they have big thighs or big bottoms? These are all factors that will dictate the size of the dress that is right for them.Citytv 2011 Fall Primetime Schedule". Channel Canada. Archived from the original on 5 September 2017 .

There’s a hitch, of course, and a big one: she needs to wrest her children from her husband. Nani’s sister, Ugo, has re-entered the picture at this point, just before fleeing to the US with Mother. The two will return to Nigeria when the investigation into Mother’s illicit business activities dies down. In the meantime, these two are urging Nani to come to the US without the kids.

Final notes: The only thing that confused me a bit was the shift in perspectives. The chapters already clarify who’s view we’re seeing, but only Nani was told in the ‘I’ perspective. Nevertheless, the story was phenomenal, painful, but one everyone should try. Glad I got the arc :). nobody hurts you like the people who know you the best. but nobody knows you the least like people who think they know you best."

Irrespective of however anyone feels about this book, I think that one thing we can all agree on is the fact that her talent at putting together beautifully crafted prose, speaks for itself. While reading this book, I encountered a good number of such passages and sentences and I just had to reread before moving on, for the sheer pleasure of it. The Udodi, Chorus interludes, had a lot of these. First notes: I put in a request for a proof copy of this novel based on the synopsis and me wanting to read more varied works of fiction, so when I saw this novel was set in Africa, centered around family dynamic and touches upon delicate topics like abuse and manipulation, I asked if I could read it.This was such an emotionally strenuous, intense, and powerful read. In her book, Unigwe explores family, social class, religion, grief, and motherhood through the lens of Nani, and sometimes Ugo, her younger sister. The blame culture is strong here, whilst religion reverence supersedes respectful worship and transcends into a dangerous weapon, one that Nani is beaten with many times.

Unfortunately as heartbreaking and emotionally grueling as Nani’s story turned out to be, I was unable to suspend disbelief enough to feel fully submerged into her reality. This is a big deal for me because even though this is a retelling, it is also literary fiction and the major thing that endears most readers - myself included - to this genre is its proximity to real life as can be obtained from fiction. This is not to say that a young Nigerian woman cannot be deceived by a man in similar circumstances as Nani was, but in many scenarios, the actions of a lot of characters as developed in this book, did not come across to me - as a Nigerian and an Igbo woman - like what one would expect from them in real life. The loss triggered a series of events that affected them as a collective and individually. Whilst Nani, struggles to overcome the grief, her mother and younger sister seemed to have moved on.

Welcome

The first line of the novel, “I fear the man who is my husband,” is bench-pressing so many thematic weights. It layers a sense of foreboding by piquing the reader’s curiosity and foreshadowing events connected to abuse. The story opens with news of Udodi’s death, the first daughter, who pursued higher education in the United States and crashed in an accident a week before her return to Enugu. After her death, the family is thrown into irreconcilable grief that feels impossible to escape. Unigwe writes, “Udodi’s death was the beginning of the raging storm but at that moment, we thought that the worst had already happened, and that life would treat us with more kindness.” Estreno de la temporada final de 'The Middle' "[Premiere of the final season of "The Middle"].
