The Sweetest Remedy

By: Jane Igharo

Narrated by: Sandra Okuboyejo

When a woman travels to Nigeria to attend the funeral of the father she never knew, she meets her extravagant family for the first time, a new and inspiring love interest, and discovers parts of herself she didn't know were missing, from Jane Igharo, the acclaimed author of Ties That Tether.

Hannah Bailey has never known her father, the Nigerian entrepreneur who had a brief relationship with her white mother. Because of this, Hannah has always felt uncertain about part of her identity. When her father dies, she's invited to Nigeria for the funeral. Though she wants to hate the man who abandoned her, she’s curious about who he was and where he was from. Searching for answers, Hannah boards a plane to Lagos, Nigeria.

In Banana Island, one of Nigeria's most affluent areas, Hannah meets the Jolades, her late father's prestigious family—some who accept her and some who think she doesn't belong. The days leading up to the funeral are chaotic, but Hannah is soon shaped by secrets that unfold, a culture she never thought she would understand or appreciate, and a man who steals her heart and helps her to see herself in a new light.

Sweet Story - Easy Listen

Very good performance. The narrator did a nice job of switching between accents and has a pleasant voice. I love the way the relationships unfolded.

Love rules all

Great book. Great story. Great flow.
It reminded me of Crazy Rich Asians, someone who didn’t know their family or their heritage and was accepted and then found out that they were loved and had a family after all. Love rules all.

Excellent!

Beautiful story! Full of humor & loveable characters. A good potrait of Nigeria & Nigerians.
