About
Canadian writer and poet Téa Mutonji comes together with Nigerian-born Igbo novelist Chika Unigwe for a sharp and moving conversation about the relationships between women, and how they shape our lives for better or for worse. In Mutonji’s My Person, lifelong best friends Tania and Margot reach an emotional breaking point, forcing them to reckon with years of subtle betrayals, codependency, racial tension and privilege, and to question the foundations of their friendship. In Unigwe’s Grace, a mother who gave away her firstborn at fifteen is forced to confront a long-held secret when her estranged mother returns, threatening the life she has carefully built. Across friendship, motherhood and generations, Mutonji and Unigwe examine the complicated bonds between women, and what happens when love collides with betrayal, memory and the truths we would rather leave buried.
