From the bestselling author of Nearly All the Men in Lagos are Mad comes a powerful polyphonic novel about family secrets, judgemental aunties and Brazilian butt lifts.
Freshly out of university, 20-year-old Témì has a clear plan for her future: she is going to surgically enlarge her backside, move to Lagos and meet a man who will love her senseless. When she finally finds the courage to tell her family, at the funeral of her beloved father, her announcement causes uproar – because in Nigerian families, none of your business is private. Not even if it’s about your bumbum. But as they try to cure Témì of what they consider to be insanity, the long-buried secrets that bind and separate them are spilled in the process. In the end, it seems like Témì might be the sanest one of them all . . .
Damilare Kuku uses her signature humour to reveal the ways a woman’s physical appearance can dictate her life and shows just how sharp the double-edged sword of beauty can be.

Recenzii
PRAISE FOR ONLY BIG BUMBUM MATTERS TOMORROW:
'Damilare Kuku, queen of the banging book title, knows how complicated it is to be a Nigerian woman. This book explores themes weightier than any BBL but never preaches. Kuku made me giggle and gasp. I loved it' Nikki May, author of Wahala
'In her latest work Only Big Bumbum Matters Tomorrow, Kuku paints a vibrant intergenerational portrait of the female condition in Nigeria . . . Funny, fierce, and heartfelt!' Chioma Okereke, author of Bitter Leaf and Water Baby
‘Both tender and hilarious, Only Big Bumbum Matters Tomorrow addresses the impossible decisions that women in patriarchal societies have to make. Damilare Kuku is an enthralling storyteller, handling the boisterous harmony of this multigenerational cast of female characters with compassion and flair’ Jendella Benson, author of Hope & Glory
PRAISE FOR NEARLY ALL THE MEN IN LAGOS ARE MAD:
'Sharply observational, funny and profound, this book is dynamic sociological satire that is as universal as it is specific' Bolu Babalola
‘Captures the experience of navigating the strange and wondrous world of love and intimacy in Africa’s most enigmatic city . . . Kuku’s stories are delectable and fun, but they also reveal the ridiculousness of gender expectations and the sexual politics that assign men and women rigid roles in intimate relationships’ Guardian
'Witty and utterly enjoyable! At the heart of every story is a juicy scandal waiting to unfold. This is definitely the best of Lagos situationships in three hundred pages' Sally Kenneth Dadzie, bestselling author of Stranger In Lagos
