This debut novel is WILD. It’s about polygamy in modern-day Nigeria, but the secrets these women keep! This is a definite page turner. Each of the characters has an intriguing background and while I understand how they became who they are, I am still floored by the twist in the plot! The hospital scenes are hilarious! But this remains an adult book with serious themes such as rape, infertility, abuse, and survival.

Adult fiction. Each of Baba Segi's four wives had her own reasons for marrying him, and likewise each has her own ways of taking control over her situation. Beautifully woven story from Nigerian author Shoneyin.
