Hello to everyone here. I will keep the story short as possible.

In 2006, I read a novella- a very interesting one at that. I'd like to read it again but I seem to have forgotten the correct title of the book as all the ones that has the same name after searching it online are different. I also don't remember the author and publisher. I will really appreciate any help rendered.

These are the vague details that I can still remember from the plot:

(1) A young man named Alani met a young,beautiful and friendly lady called Aduke at a Buka (Local Canteen).

(2) They fell in love and got married despite the fact that Alani's mother disliked Aduke for no notable or obvious reason.

(3) Alani's mother was always nagging about his wife Aduke and it finally got to a point that she labelled Aduke a witch.

(4) Alani's mother brought a lady from the village named Sade and forcefully married her to Alani.

(5) Despite all the troubles and challenges, Alani never ceased from loving and caring for Aduke.

(6)The new wife was a vile person and was always fighting with Aduke over petty things with the obvious support and backing of her mother-in-law

(7) The Household never experienced peace again.....The story goes on but these are the scanty details that I can remember about the book.

The name that keeps coming to my head is "Shattered Dreams" but all the Google search results point to other books with that name but different stories
