Happy Monday everyone! I though I’d start the week off by highlighting a book on my GoodReads TBR. I currently have 839 book on my Want-To-Read list which I know is endless. However, I feel if I start looking at it regularly I might end up cleaning it up while I scroll through looking for that one book to highlight. So here to a clean-up side affect 😉
This week I dug out The Secret Lives of Baba Segi’s Wives by Lola Shoneyin. I came across this book as a recommendation for the best book out there portraying a positive view on polygamy and how it can work. I don’t know enough about this way of life and its only my list so I can learn and therefore stop judging 🙂
African-born poet Lola Shoneyin makes her fiction debut with The Secret Lives of Babi Segi’s Wives, a perceptive, entertaining, and eye-opening novel of polygamy in modern-day Nigeria. The struggles, rivalries, intricate family politics, and the interplay of personalities and relationships within the complex private world of a polygamous union come to life in The Secret Lives of Baba Segi’s Wives—Big Love and The 19th Wife set against a contemporary African background.
Have you read this? What did you think?
Until next time.
I think I vaguely remember hearing of this one before but I don’t know if it would be one I’d pick up without some reviews. I hope you enjoy it if you get to it!
