As an book-loving academic, I’ve read my fair share of fictions and non-fictons, but The Secret Lives of Baba Segi’s Wives is a rare gem that blends humour, heartbreak, and razor-sharp social commentary in one unforgettable narrative. I’m buying this book for the third time; not because I lose it, but because I keep giving it away (sometimes reluctantly) to friends who must read it. Lola Shoneyin doesn’t just tell a story—she opens the front door, invites you into Baba Segi’s household, and serves you spicy stew and scandal. Buy it. Read it. Then buy it again—you’ll want to share it too.

i enjoyed the book finished it within 3 days after i had received it. i dont know whether its because i read novels a lot some scenes were so cliche, however i liked the end, i like it when a person decides to walk out of toxic situations, some stay and die. so am so proud of Bonle here, am sorry for everything she went through i wish i could hug her. (Am aware its fiction).
