In an evening long encounter, two women ponder over their roles as wives, mothers and citizens with a robust exchange of thoughts, opinions and narratives on the realities of their everyday experiences. Their frank, incisive but often sardonic conversation covered a wide range of social issues from marital driven anxieties to gender-based uncertainties and the peculiar challenges of living in their local community. Pain is Our First Love is an insightful duologue of perceptions. It is written in a particular style that brings the characters to life and jumps at the reader with an odd but tender familiarity and understanding. It also offers an interesting and intriguing commentary on the dynamics of social interactions in contemporary Nigeria from the perspectives of one of the country's most important but least vocal population subgroup.
