520 _a"A Resident's Wife in Nigeria" by Constance Larymore is a personal travel memoir written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles Larymore's experiences and observations during her time in Nigeria, providing an intimate glimpse into the daily life of the English settlers, their interactions with local cultures, and the challenges they faced in the unfamiliar landscape. The author not only recounts her adventures but also reflects on the beauty of the region and its inhabitants, thus bridging the gap between two worlds. The opening of the memoir sets the stage for Larymore's journey, beginning with her departure from Sierra Leone with her husband in 1902. Expressing a mix of hope and apprehension, she describes their anticipation of life in Northern Nigeria, where she plans to accompany her husband, a governmental officer. The vivid descriptions of their sea voyage and initial arrival in Lokoja highlight the stark contrast between her past experiences in Sierra Leone and the unknown terrains of Nigeria. As she navigates the challenges of travel and the complexities of her new environment, Larymore's writing establishes both her resilience and her curiosity, laying the groundwork for the rich narrative that unfolds throughout her memoir.
