A Resident's wife in Nigeria

"A Resident's Wife in Nigeria" by Constance Larymore is a memoir that recounts the author's journey to Nigeria in the early 1900s and her experiences as the wife of a British governmental officer. Departing from Sierra Leone, Larymore anticipates life in Northern Nigeria, where she confronts the challenges of her new environment and interactions with the local population. The narrative revolves around her daily life, describing the beauty of the landscape, the complexities of cultural exchange, and her own resilience in adapting to a world vastly different from her own. Through vivid descriptions and personal reflections, Larymore bridges the gap between colonial life and the indigenous cultures of Nigeria.
