| Publisher Description: This book, "DOZ Chronicles: Ruki," is a part of the DOZ Chronicles series and falls under the category of African Women Narratives. It is based on real life experiences and told in the first person narrative by Eturuvie Erebor. It is the story of Ruki, a young woman from a poor family, whose quest for a better standard of living drives her to the streets of Lagos as a full time prostitute. Then one night, she has an unusual experience that causes her to forsake the streets and prostitution, and return to her hometown, in a bid to redeem her reputation. After three and a half years of living a far from glamourous life in the village, Ruki meets and marries a man who has the means to give her the life she's always wanted. But just as she begins to enjoy her new life, the undesirable unexpected happens. The past, which Ruki has tried so hard to bury, suddenly resurrects, and her perfect world with Anayo begins to disintegrate. Is this the end of her marriage? |
