Lonely Days is a 2006 novel written by a Nigerian writer Bayo Adebowale. [1] Set in the southwestern part of Nigeria, the novel centers on the plight of widowhood experienced by Nigerian women. The central character, Yaremi, becomes a widow after the sudden death of her husband, Ajumobi ,who was a powerful hunter. [2] [3]
Lonely Days explores the themes of loneliness, widowhood, tradition and customs, and women's inheritance in Nigeria.
In a 2020 literary analysis, Yaremi is compared with the Zambian widow in A Cowrie of Hope. The author concluded that "although the two novels are mere fiction, the two writers leave us with no doubt that thousands of widows still suffer in African communities because of the weight of customs and traditions."
