Fresh out of university, 20-year-old Témì has a clear plan for her future: she is going to surgically enlarge her backside like all the other Nigerian women, move from Ile-Ife to Lagos, and meet a man who will love her senseless.
When she finally finds the courage to tell her mother, older sister, and aunties, at the funeral of her beloved father, her announcement causes an uproar - because in Nigerian families, none of your business is private. Not even if it’s about your bumbum.
But as each of the other women try to cure Témì of what they consider to be insanity, the long-buried secrets that bind and separate them are spilled in the process.
In the end, it seems like Témì might be the sanest one sha…
In Only Big Bumbum Matters Tomorrow, Damilare Kuku brings her signature humour, boldness, and compassion to each member of this loveable but exasperating family, whose lives reveal the ways in which a woman’s physical appearance can dictate her life and relationships and showing just how sharp the double-edged sword of beauty can be.
Praise for Only Big Bumbum Matters Tomorrow:
'Damilare Kuku, queen of the banging book title, knows how complicated it is to be a Nigerian woman.
This book explores themes weightier than any BBL but never preaches. Kuku made me giggle and gasp. I loved it' Nikki May, author of Wahala and This Motherless Land
'In her latest work Only Big Bumbum Matters Tomorrow, Kuku paints a vibrant intergenerational portrait of the female condition in Nigeria...
Funny, fierce, and heartfelt!' Chioma Okereke, author of Bitter Leaf & Water Baby
‘Both tender and hilarious, Only Big Bumbum Matters Tomorrow addresses the impossible decisions that women in patriarchal societies have to make.
Damilare Kuku is an enthralling storyteller, handling the boisterous harmony of this multigenerational cast of female characters with compassion and flair’ Jendella Benson, author of Hope & Glory
