Behind the Clouds by Ifeoma Okoye
Ije Apia is an intelligent, educated Nigerian woman. While studying in London she met and married Dozie and supported him while he was studying architecture. When they returned to Nigeria, she worked in an insurance company, while he worked as a government surveyor. Dozie is fairly indecisive but is persuaded by his wife to go freelance and he sets up his own architectural practice. At the start of the novel, he is just beginning to make a success of it. The couple are very happy except for one thing. They do not seem to be able to have a child.
