Acclaimed romance writer Lilian Amah returns with her most compelling work yet, The Things We Do To Each Other—a deeply intimate, emotionally charged novel that peels back the layers of love, marriage, and the quiet fractures that can tear it apart.
Chetachi Dozie—Chet to those who know him best—appears to have it all: a thriving career in the oil industry, loyal lifelong friends, and a life many would envy. But beneath the surface, the pressure to settle down looms large. That pressure seems resolved the night he meets Susan—vibrant, magnetic, and impossible to ignore. What begins as a whirlwind romance quickly leads to a proposal, and within months, marriage.
But passion alone is not enough.
As the realities of married life set in, Susan’s warmth gives way to deep-seated insecurities that begin to reshape their home. What was once love becomes strained by control, emotional volatility, and growing mistrust. Attempts to restore balance only deepen the cracks, especially after the arrival of their daughter, Naya. As resentment festers, affection fades, and the arrival of two more children, Kenenna and Zaafa, intensifies an already fragile situation.
In The Things We Do To Each Other, Lilian Amah delivers a raw and unflinching exploration of love under pressure, where expectations collide with reality, and the bonds meant to hold us together are tested in unexpected ways.
This is not just a love story. It’s a mirror, and a must-read for anyone who has ever loved, lost, or questioned what lies beneath the surface of “happily ever after.”
