About The Domestication Of Munachi
The Domestication of Munachi is the story of a woman who rebels against an arranged marriage and transits from her awareness of the familiar to the adventurous ways of the world. Her action exhumes long kept family feuds and secrets as she liberates herself from cultural hegemony and finds freedom in the same bag with treachery, deceit, sex, and money. The story throws light on the diasporic economy of arranged marriages and betrothals, the angst for non-conformity and the rage between tradition and modernity.
I enjoyed reading this fantastic novel. And I’ve been looking forward to this physical book tour, much like everyone else who has read the book. Most of us have questions for her. Others might become more curious after they’ve listened to the audio and read excerpts HERE. And thankfully, Ifesinachi Okoli-Okpagu will be at Patabah Books on the 8th of May to answer your questions.
