About this listen
A sweeping, evocative short story that spans decades, A Love Like This is a captivating tale of love and self-discovery from award-winning Nigerian author Abubakar Adam Ibrahim.
Yarima Lalo believes he has been murdered twice before. The cause? Love. To make sense of these vivid memories he cannot shake, he travels from Abuja to Kano with his new friend and love interest Aziza to meet an old woman who he might have known in a past life. She is skeptical at first - and hesitant to revisit painful memories of her own - but together, they dig deeper and deeper into the past, piecing together a shared history with ripple effects that could shape Lalo’s future.

Struggled to follow at times despite its length
Struggled to follow at times despite its short length.
might need to listen to it again, which defeats opting for a short story in the first place.
The narration was authentic.

Beautiful
I wanted to listen to a sweet romance. Something soothing, something hopeful. This was above my expectations. Such a sweet, sweet, love.

A story of limited interest
A story of limited interest that relies on several clichés about women (e.g. the "stubborn young African woman who defies her parents' wishes" has been a familiar character in African literature since the 1960s). Similarly, I found the "happy ending" the old woman suggests to the protagonist (no spoilers) quite objectionable and rather offensive to women, especially considering that this is a very recent story. The audiobook readers are excellent.
