Changes is a spirited and poignant story about Esi, an independent woman who leaves her husband, Oko, because he intrudes on her time and personal space. Confronted with the difficulty of finding love and companionship on acceptable terms, Esi meets Ali and falls in love, but she must decide if she is willing to make the changes necessary for a relationship. In Changes, the renowned Ghanaian writer, Ama Ata Aidoo, addresses various issues in contemporary African women's lives: love, career, betrayal and family, without offering simple solutions.
