Book review: Someday, Maybe' earnestly embodies widow's grief
"Someday, Maybe" by Onyi Nwabineli "Someday, maybe" is a phrase that noncommittally encapsulates hopes and fears alike. It's a response that lacks urgency, stagnating in the purgatory between"yes" and"no."
On the first page we learn that the main character found her husband, Quentin Morrow, who she thought was perfectly happy, after he killed himself on New Year's Eve. Insert trigger warning here.Dramatic proves to be a great word to describe this novel. Fast-paced and mysterious? Only a touch.

Eve's experience as a Black woman in an interracial marriage with a major wealth gap between their families proves key in contextualizing her fraught relationship with her ice-cold mother-in-law, Aspen.
Readers should beware that the novel deals with suicide, and does describe aspects of Quentin's death in scraps of memory sprinkled here and there.
