Tunde and Susan cross a line that costs them nothing they expected and everything they didn't know to prepare for. Emeka leaves his wife and children behind for what he's promised will be six months, and gets fourteen. Kemi's career takes her family to Leeds, and slowly rewrites who her husband believed himself to be.
Spanning sold businesses, stolen wages, a fever at midnight, a policy rewritten overnight, and the particular loneliness of loving a country from three thousand miles away, Love Beyond Borders follows three Nigerian families building a life in modern Britain, and the community, faith, and stubborn love that carries them through it.
Inspired by the real, widely documented experiences of the Nigerian diaspora in the UK, this novel asks what migration actually costs a family, in money, in marriage, in the quiet inheritance of who gets to hold power in a household, and what, against every reasonable expectation, it can still give back.
For readers of immigrant family sagas and stories of love tested by distance, ambition, and the slow work of building a home somewhere new.
