✦ Synopsis
How to Cook Your Husband the African Way is the story of a woman who falls in love with her neighbour, the dashing and delicious Mr Bolobolo. Bolobolo has issues, however. He chases far too many girls and lives with his mother who expects visitors from outer space. She also talks to her chicken.
The heroine, Aissatou, wants a husband who is also a lover. Remembering her mother’s wisdom and the traditions of Africa, she sets out to cook her way to his heart. But it will take more than exotically cooked fish to make Bolobolo a proper man. The book tells a magical but contemporary romance. It paints a colourful picture of those in the heroine’s block of flats including the fat concierge whose husband no longer loves her and Top Floor Tantrum.
The reader will wonder what else Aissatou will cook next to get Bolobolo where she wants him to be. But in the end, it is not food that keeps him to her.
