To the dismay of her ambitious mother, Bolanle marries into a polygamous family, where she is the fourth wife of a rich, rotund patriarch, Baba Segi. She is a graduate and therefore a great prize, but even graduates must produce children and her husband's persistent bellyache is a sign that things are not as they should be. She only wants to escape to a quiet life, but the others disapprove of the newest, youngest, cleverest addition to the family. Treated with respect by her husband, she is viewed with suspicion by her seniors - who fear she may unlock their well-guarded secret.  Through the voices of Baba Segi and his four wives, Lola Shoneyin weaves a vibrant story of love, secrets and a family like every other - happy and unhappy, truthful and not, sometimes kind, sometimes competitive, always bound by blood, and the past.","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40504059756741,"sku":"9781788167581","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/products\/th_cee1fa38-2f0c-444d-98b2-b92531404d79.jpg?v=1630577506","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781788167581-the-secret-lives-of-baba-segis-wives","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
