She is a graduate and therefore considered a great prize in Nigeria, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Heavy issues, but her touch is so skillful that she finds redeeming features in even her wickedest characters, and comedy even in violence and cruelty' - Guardian\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Riotous... this debut novel is a real eye-opener: a deft, compelling and unsettling tale.' - Irish Examiner\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003eLola Schonein - Лола Шонейн\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003eProfile Books\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003eEnglish\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e2020\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e272 pst\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003ePaperback\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e128 mm \/ 5'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e194 mm \/ 7,6'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e220 g\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e9781788167581\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Profile Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47138857549962,"sku":"1278555","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0643\/1070\/6314\/files\/The_Secret_Lives_Of_Baba_Segi_s_Wves_Lola_Schonein_-_9781788167581-1.jpg?v=1759316444","url":"https:\/\/bookstoreint.com\/products\/1278555","provider":"Bookstore International","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
