Goldie

To Goldie, 'success' doesn't mean having money or a good career (although she has both): it means being married - and so, over the years, she's had many men to whom she's attached that title without its wider implications. Nigerian culture and customs permeate Goldie's story and introduce readers to different cultural expectations about marriage and romance as Goldie learns some hard lessons about men, commitment, and love. Goldie's journey is the one many women take, but her Nigerian background adds a different flavor to these experiences and insights into not just Goldie's perspective and choices, but those of many women.The strength of  "A Woman of Many Husbands: Goldie" lies not in perfect English, but in its exploration of the mind of a woman from another culture who is driven to find a man she can truly call her life partner.Life ultimately presents Goldie with several choices; each of which hold positive possibilities and lasting implications for the rest of her life. Readers are asked to help Goldie make the right choice; in the process considering the ideas, practicalities, and sacrifices involved in relationships.
