Em uma entrevista, a escritora nigeriana Ayobami Adebayo
refletiu sobre os personagens principais (Yejide e Akin) e o
contexto sociopolítico de seu romance Stay With Me.

While writing, I also started thinking
about the middle class in Nigeria. When
Yejide visits her mother-in-law, there’s a
very low fence in front of their house. It’s
barely a fence. When Yejide and Akin
build their own house in the early
nineties, they erect a fence that’s higher
than the house. You can’t see inside.
That was something I observed about
architecture in Nigeria—that at some
point, probably in the eighties and nineties, when things
became quite turbulent and there was all of this insecurity,
one of the ways the people who could afford to insulate
themselves against what was going on did was to build
higher fences, to use money as a shield in a sense. I
wanted that political turbulence to play in the background.
