Summary
Dele Weds Destiny is the heartfelt, vivid and unflinching debut novel by editor and writer Tomi Obaro.
Zainab, Funmi and Enitan first meet at University in northern Nigeria, all learning how to become themselves. It's an experience that binds the three very different women together. When Enitan moves to New York to elope with a white man, Zainab and Funmi are left behind, with drastically different fortunes.
Over the course of 30 years, their lives and friendships diverge and change. Funmi is separating from her husband, trying to understand her daughter Remi. Zainab finds herself the sole breadwinner for her husband and their four sons. And Funmi is living a life of confined luxury, as the wife of a successful, shady businessman.
But theirs is a friendship that can endure decades of distance. And in 2015, they are reunited for the first time for the wedding of Funmi's daughter, Destiny.
Here they will reflect on their pasts, the things they loved and lost—but the present brings unexpected surprises too, because their daughters, Remi and Destiny, might just be as rebellious and open-hearted as they once were.
A story of three women, over three decades, we witness the shared histories, betrayals and triumphs play out, and their unforgettable, enduring friendship.

but where is the storyline??????
this novel describes a lot of things - the scenery, the way someone looks, the way they have a conversation - but what is the point? there's no plot to follow nothing of interest to get stuck into and then it limply ends.
I'm disappointed
