There's two people reading it because it follows two lives.

There's a man and a woman reading it.

Shall I play you a clip of it?

Yes, please.

And I'll set it up.

So the two protagonists or the two main people in the families, it does follow their families entirely, is Warala.

She's a junior doctor and Eniola, who's a young guy who is struggling to get an education.

But this clip is about Warala.

She's a junior doctor and she's just got engaged to Kunle.

Now, her sister, Mutara...

It's kind of, she's a bit younger and she's sort of defying those naming traditions that I was talking about.

So she's not calling somebody auntie this or so-and-so this.

She's just calling them by their name.

So that's around the sort of modernization.

So here's a clip.

So yes, Wurala has just got engaged to Kunle and her sister Matara is the one who's defying the naming conventions.

So quite interesting.

I've never heard a book with that strong Nigerian accent in English language before.

So I think if I was going to do this again, it really brings a lot to it, having a good Nigerian voice like that.

But I would like to read it and listen to it at the same time.
