Since her debut Stay with Me came out in 2017 to critical acclaim, Ayọ̀bámi Adébáyọ̀ has gone on to become a household name. The story of Yejide and Akin is one that tagged at our heartstrings and for a lot of readers, it opened up wounds and conversations and reflections. We here
at Soma Nami Podcast, as with the rest of the world, have been waiting with bated breath for a sophomore book to drop, so when we heard rumours that A Spell of Good Things was in the works, we knew we had to get Ms Ayọ̀bámi on the podcast.
A Spell of Good Things, Ayọ̀bámi Adébáyọ̀ second book was published on 7th Feb 2023 by Knopf (US) and 9th Feb 2023 by Canongate (UK), and he reception across the globe has been really positive. We wanted to have a conversation with Ayọ̀bámi to not only introduce this new
book to readers but to also talk to us a little bit about her two journey as a writer, her views on the reception of ‘Stay with Me’ and hopes for ‘A
Spell of Good Things’ and and her writing process. Ayobami candidly talks to us about all this, including the number of rejections she faced with her debut novel. We also tease out some of the themes her two books carry - all spoiler free, we promise.
We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed bringing it to you.
