Lizzie Damilola Blackburn is the best-selling author of Yinka, Where is Your Husband? which follows the story an Oxford-educated British Nigerian woman with a good-paying job, wonderful friends, and a family who continually prays that she be delivered from her singledom.
Yinka, Where is Your Huzband? is a fresh, uplifting story of an unconventional heroine who bravely asks the questions we all have about love. Wry, moving, irresistible, this is a love story that makes you smile but also makes you think--and explores what it means to find your way between two cultures, both of which are yours.
“Beautifully observed, warm and deeply human, Yinka is a meditation on family and friendship, on love and self-love. Feel-good, funny and clever, it’s got smash-hit written all over it!”
Josie Silver, New York Times bestselling author of One Day in December
“So modern and fresh. Like Bridget Jones, Yinka is a lovable and relatable disaster—which is to say, she isn’t actually a disaster at all...I adore her.”
Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author of People We Meet on Vacation
