The happenings in each of the women's lives are both hilarious and tragic, and are understandable, even relatable, despite being fictitious. One of my top 3 narrations I've ever heard.

The Secret Lives of Baba Segi's Wives' is such a mature and stinking opulent work. It is told in a dramatic way by the funniest and most sincere storyteller. From the day the book is picked and till the read is completed, the reader cannot but 'murder darlings' for this new-found darling to be fully savoured.
