About this listen

The Bees review our August book of the month and one of our personal all time favorite novels, "The Secret Lives of Baba Segi's Wives" by Lola Shoneyin. The story follows the goings-on in the household of Baba Segi, a polygamist Nigerian man, following the arrival of his fourth wife. Told through the perspective of multiple characters, the story touches on several themes including child labor, arranged marriages, marital deceit, and so much more.
