My Mrs Solomon

by Olutunmbi Idowu

When Rimi receives a promotion that takes him from Nigeria to London, it feels like the opportunity of a lifetime. But what begins as a career milestone soon becomes a journey that tests not only his professional mettle but also his emotional and psychological resilience.

As COVID-19 sweeps across borders and cities lock down, distance and isolation bring to the surface long-suppressed traumas from Rimi’s childhood—especially of his haunting entanglement with the enigmatic Mrs Solomon. Guilt, shame, and the invisible scars of childhood abuse threaten to overwhelm him, drawing Rimi to the ledge of his ninth-floor apartment.

Then Ekwi offers an unexpected, liberating biblical insight. But is it enough to pull him back and onto the path toward healing?

My Mrs Solomon is a moving and unflinching exploration of trauma, masculinity, vulnerability, and the power of love to redeem even the most broken places. A story for our time—where silence can be deadly, and speaking up can save a life.
