Resumen del Editor
One of the year’s most anticipated by Marie Claire, Essence, Debutiful, & Goodreads
A brilliant debut by a British-Nigerian author—a heartfelt family drama that will delight book club readers/listeners and fans of books like The Girl with the Louding Voice and Erotic Stories for Punjabi Widows.
“Jendella Benson has drawn such a compelling world. The book and the characters stayed with me long after I'd turned the final pages!” —Candice Carty-Williams, bestselling author of Queenie
Glory Akindele returns to London from her seemingly glamorous life in LA to mourn the sudden death of her father, only to find her previously close family has fallen apart in her absence. Her brother, Victor, is in jail and won’t speak to her because she didn’t come home for his trial. Her older sister, Faith, once a busy career woman, appears to have lost her independence and ambition, and is instead channeling her energies into holding together a perfect suburban family. Worst of all, their mother, Celeste, is headed toward a breakdown after the death of her husband and the shame of her son’s incarceration.
Rather than returning to America, Glory decides to stay and try to bring them all together again. It’s a tall order given that Glory’s life isn’t exactly working out according to plan either, and she’s acutely aware that she’s not so sure who she is and what she wants.
A chance reunion with a man she’d known in her teens—the perceptive but elusive Julian—gives her the courage to start questioning why her respectable but obsessively private Nigerian immigrant family is the way it is. But then Glory’s questioning unearths a massive secret that shatters the family’s fragile peace—and she risks losing everyone she deeply cares about in her pursuit of the truth and a reunited family.
""Filled with unexpected, but earned, twists, Hope and Glory balances moments of rich humor and devastating profundity...deeply authentic."" —Kirkus Reviews
""A sumptuous and satisfying meditation on family and the meaning of home.” —Publishers Weekly

Dear Elizabeth, I've been watching you. I hope to see you...soon. Liz Cafferky is on the up. Rescued from her dark past by the owner of a drop-in centre for older men, Liz soon finds herself as the charity's face - and the unwilling darling of the Dublin media. Amidst her claustrophobic fame, Liz barely notices a letter from a new fan. But then one of the centre's clients is brutally murdered, and Elizabeth receives another, more sinister note. Running from her own ghosts, Liz is too scared to go to the police.

In the early hours of a summer morning, a young woman steps into the path of an oncoming bus. A tragic accident? Or suicide? At the center of this puzzle is Adrian Wolfe, a successful architect and grief-stricken widower, who, a year after his third wife's death, begins to investigate the cause. As Adrian looks back on their brief but seemingly happy marriage, disturbing secrets begin to surface. The divorces from his two previous wives had been amicable, or so it seemed; his children, all five of them, were resilient as ever, or so he thought.

Justine had always been told that her mother came from royal blood. The proof could be found in her mother’s elegance, in the upper-crust London accent she had never shed - and in a cryptic letter hinting at her claim to a country estate. But beneath the polished veneer lay a fearsome, unpredictable temper that drove Justine from home the moment she was old enough to escape. Years later, when her mother sent her an envelope filled with secrets from a past that had never been spoken about, Justine buried it in the back of an old filing cabinet.

Great story and performance
Was looking for a new author / book and wasn't disappointed! Great story I could empathise with ; a credible MC (who's neck I constantly wanted to wring!) ; didn't like the abrupt ending though - only because it didn't fit into my dislike of 'unfinished' endings (this is supposed to be fiction, so stoeies should be neatly tied off, otherwise I'd read non-fiction!)
However, it does not detract from the story and I can't wait to see what is next. The narrator (Kelechi Okafor) did an amazing job. The accents and 'tone' were on point.

Held my interest
I’m white in USA, so can’t speak 100% to the accuracy of cultural representations of Nigerians in England. But I can say that the representations seemed authentic. Good and moving story line. Well developed characters and character relationships. A few stumbles by narrator, but overall pleasing - especially with the lilt of Nigerian voices.

Great book, ending left me wanting more
Great story and performance all around. Very relatable themes around family, finding your purpose, relationships, etc. Not a big fan of the ending, it abruptly ended in a bit of an awkward place. But overall good book, would recommend!

New British-Nigerian book, worth it!
This debut novel chronicles the path of a British- Nigerian woman & her family. The protagonist, Glory, had relocated to Los Angeles but returns to England after her father dies. She encounters unexpected family problems upon her return, and struggles to help while also trying to resettle and sort out issues of her own as well as family secrets. The book is moving and uses humor to lighten some painful scenes. Each character is well characterized as are the relationships between the characters. I felt empathy for each character & for the family. I haven't enjoyed a book so much in a long time. Hearing it enhanced the experience and the narrator was outstanding.
