Description

The Manual for Good Wives is a powerful dual‑timeline historical novel that follows Temi, a Nigerian princess in the late 1800s who flees an arranged marriage and builds a new life in Victorian England — even writing a popular advice column under a false identity. Decades later, her descendant Landri discovers Temi’s old notebook and, facing her own personal struggles, finds strength and self‑discovery in her ancestor’s story. It’s a moving tale of resilience, love, identity, and the legacy of courage across generations.
