Funmi, Enitan, and Zainab first meet at university in Nigeria and become friends for life despite their differences. Their friendship is complicated but enduring. Now, some thirty years later, the three women are reunited for the first time, in Lagos. The occasion: Funmi's daughter is getting married. As the big day approaches, it becomes clear that something is not right. As the novel builds powerfully toward the big event, the complexities of the mothers' friendship - and the private wisdom each has earned - come to bear on a riveting, heartrending moment of decision.
