About this listen

Suspenseful and riveting, Skirts, Ties and Taboos (previously published as Nfudu) is a gripping tale of passion, ambition, and glamour. Set in the vibrant 1960s Paris, London, and Lagos, it follows Nfudu, a young woman who leaves her affluent but chaotic Nigerian family behind to pursue her dream of becoming a renowned fashion designer.

Soon after arriving in Paris in 1963, Nfudu launches a heart-rending secret affair with her best friend's charismatic and wealthy father, Javier. When she meets Ikechi, a striking financier, in London, Nfudu's bond with Javier is tested. Ikechi appears to be the perfect match, but a grim revelation about his caste and the societal taboos surrounding its origins forces Nfudu to confront deep-seated prejudices and defend her honor.

Torn between her insatiable love for Javier and her burning desire for Ikechi, Nfudu takes matters into her own hands. Her actions send her down a slippery slope that threatens not only her existence but also that of those closest to her. Full of twists and turns, Skirts, Ties & Taboos intricately weaves a spellbinding love story with themes of crime, war, hatred, ancient taboos, and a clash of civilizations.

“Nfudu” was a very interesting book to listen to. Weaving a romantic thread between traditional Igbo and the European culture. It was so easy to get into it and root for the characters. Many of the twists and turns were rather unexpected. I could hardly stop listening till I got to the very end. The narration made it all the more interesting. Can’t wait for another audiobook from this author

I really enjoyed this book. Nfudu was such a trendsetter in the fashion world. I was happy with the way it ended. I wasn’t sure if Nfudu would get her happily ever after. She was face with several struggles as she made her name in the fashion industry. Heather Masters did a great job narrating this book.
