Wahala


S přáteli je život vždycky veselejší. Jen se do něj nesmí vkrást pomsta. Londýňanky Simi, Ronke a Boo jsou kamarádky na život a na smrt. V restauraci s nigerijskými specialitami, kde to voní domovem, dlouze a hlasitě probírají slasti i strasti svých životů: třeba nejnovější Rončin objev, z něhož se snad konečně nevyklube další nespolehlivý příživník, Booinu frustraci ze zdánlivě dokonalé rodinné idylky, která ji však spíše dusí, nebo Siminu strategii, jak manžela úspěšně přesvědčit o tom, že se snaží o dítě, přestože Simi tuhle snahu tajně sabotuje. Když se k dobře sehranému trojlístku přidá čtvrtá — bohatá, krásná a neohrožená Isobel —, najednou se zdá, že všechny trable mají snadné řešení. Jenže ne nadarmo se Isobel přezdívá Wahala. A wahala, to znamená problémy. Náhle se ukazuje, že každá z kamarádek jich má mnohem víc než dřív. Odkud pramení Isobelina touha hatit štěstí ostatních žen? A kam až je kvůli tomu ochotná zajít?

Wahala


Soon to be a high-budget BBC TV series, a major paperback re-launch for this acclaimed debut recommended on BBC Radio Two Book Club and Woman's Hour, published to rave reviews from Sunday Times and Guardian to Good Housekeeping, Stylist and Red. Three friends. Three 'perfect' lives. Here comes Trouble. Ronke wants Happily Ever After and 2.2. kids. She's dating Kayode and wants him to be 'the one'. Her friends think he's just another in a long line of dodgy Nigerian boyfriends. Boo has just what Ronke wants - a kind husband, a gorgeous child. But she's frustrated, unfulfilled, and desperate to remember who she used to be. Simi is the golden one with the perfect lifestyle and a career. No one knows she's crippled by impostor syndrome and tempted to pack it all in each time her boss mentions her 'urban vibe.' Her husband thinks they're trying for a baby. She's not. When the high-flying, charismatic Isobel explodes into the group, she seems to bring out the best in each woman. But the more Isobel intervenes, the more chaos she sows, until Ronke, Simi, and Boo's lifelong friendship begins to crack.

Wahala


Ronke, Simi and Boo are inseparable mixed-race friends living in London. They have the gift of two cultures, Nigerian and English, though not all of them choose to see it that way. Everyday racism has never held them back, but now in their thirties, they question their future. Ronke wants a husband (he must be Nigerian); Boo enjoys (correction: endures) stay-at-home motherhood; while Simi, full of fashion career dreams, rolls her eyes as her boss refers to her urban vibe yet again. When Isobel, a lethally glamorous friend from their past arrives in town, she is determined to fix their futures for them. Cracks in their friendship begin to appear, and it is soon obvious Isobel is not sorting but wrecking. When she is driven to a terrible act, the women are forced to reckon with a crime in their past that may just have repeated itself. A darkly comic and bitingly subversive take on love, race and family, Wahala will have you laughing, crying and gasping in horror. Boldly political about class, colorism and clothes, here is a truly inclusive tale that will speak to anyone who has ever cherished friendship, in all its forms.
