Book Synopsis



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.

--Jennifer Probst, New York Times bestselling author of Our Italian Summer

"[An] intriguing examination into the dynamics of family relationships and what it means to have pride in one's culture and heritage. It also holds some unexpected twists and turns that will keep readers engaged until the end.
--Associated Press, on Ties That Tether

"This exploration of identity, love and loss in the context of an interracial relationship feels authentic and bittersweet, yet hopeful all the same."
--BookPage, on Ties That Tether

"Happily ever after is hard-won and satisfying in this #ownvoices romance."
--Shelf Awareness, on Ties That Tether

--Library Journal (starred review), on Ties That Tether

"An unexpected and heartfelt romance about true love and the sacrifices we make for it."
--Sonya Lalli, author of Serena Singh Flips the Script, on Ties That Tether

"Ties That Tether was a roller coaster ride from page one and holy cow did I love it. Jane Igharo chronicles Azere's journey in such a beautiful, wrenching, and relatable way. As Azere struggled to find a balance between her love life, her own happiness, and the expectations of her family, I went through a whirlwind of emotions--and I adored every minute of it. I laughed and teared up and cheered and yelled. Best of all, Jane Igharo delivers a happily ever after that made me smile until my cheeks hurt. I tore through this amazing book, I couldn't read it fast enough.
--Sarah Smith, Author of Simmer Down

"A Nigerian immigrant herself, Igharo tackles issues like immigration, cultural identity, and interracial dating in a compelling way. While a love story at heart, this book is so much more than that. It's a must-read for your summer vacation."
--Betches, on Ties That Tether

"A wonderful fall romance with immense depth, Ties That Tether seizes you from the very beginning."
--Shondaland

"The best part of this book for me was Azere and her mother's relationship. It is so fraught with the immigration experience.... To read this book is to read it for the tenderness of the romance and for the immigrant experience, to feel your heart soften and your throat clog with tears, and to celebrate the resilience of the spirit. As Rilke has said, 'To love is the ultimate human task.' So celebrate the love between the protagonists and within their families as you turn the pages."
--Frolic, on Ties That Tether
