The secret lives of baba segi's wives would make a really good movie. Salawa abeni should play Iya Segi.
Really good story.

Lola Shoneyin's The Secret Lives of Baba Segi's Wives. Chapter 2 (Polygamist).
Re: What Are You Reading Right Now And What Page Are You? by SIRcumalot: 4:30pm On Jun 23, 2018
I finished "stay with me" awhile ago and the plot point that the whole book hinges is almost unbelievable if no be the time them based the book. Still I see why it so loved.

Born on Tuesday is also very good.

Back to my comfort zone Terry Pratchett: going postal.

SPOILER:






Umm, it's been long I read the book but I remember the rape happened before she started sleeping with Segun. When the man was going to drop her after the ugly incident he said something in the line of Bolanle now being a woman and that she should be thanking him.


Edit: she was also devastated that something she'd been saving for her future husband had been stolen from her.

Basically its about deconstucting gender roles, and equality, so yes its about feminism. Interesting piece i tell you.

Its a book i wish i could send to every woman who is raising a daughter in nigeria today. So she wont take alot of the crap our mothers and foremothers took, and also to every woman raising a son because we should all be feminist really. wink

then it's a book i'd love to read so I can critique it thoroughly.

As regard the bolded. I don't know what you mean cos for me, my mum and even my sisters didn't take any crap from anybody. You care to elucidate on it, please?
