Jendella Benson, author of Hope & Glory


Stunningly honest and bursting with wit, Someday Maybe is the story of grief and resilience that you won't be able to stop talking about.




Here are three things you should know about my husband:


1. He was the great love of my life, despite his penchant for going incommunicado.
2. He was, as far as I and everyone else could tell, perfectly happy.
3. On New Year's Eve, he killed himself.




And here is one thing you should know about me:


1. I found him.




Bonus fact: No. I am not okay.




After her husband's unexpected death, everyone around Eve - her friends, her stifling Nigerian-British family, her toxic mother-in-law - is pushing her to move on. But Eve isn't ready to face the future yet. No, she intends to take to her bed like a consumptive Victorian lady, ignoring her mother's earnest prayers and her sister's cajoling.


Instead, Eve begins looking back, combing through her memories in an attempt to understand where it all went wrong.


So begins this very unconventional love story.


A love story in retrospect, heartbreaking in its inevitability but also shot through with moments of joy and humor.
