520 |a In North Cameroon, well-to-do young Ramla is torn from her true love and wed to a manipulative older man. Safira, her co-wife, juggles envy and empathy for this new bride with disappointment in the husband she desperately loves. Like her sister Ramla, Hindou is married off to a man she does not know or want, a distant cousin whose instability and violence terrifies her. Three women, raised to submit to men, or risk shame and repudiation. They are advised to have munyal: patience. It is unthinkable to defy tradition. But driven by impatience and clouded by the suffering rooted in forced marriage and physical abuse, how will these three impatient women free themselves? -- Dust jacket
