The book is slated for release on the 07th of April, so I'll probably do a more indepth write-up after I read it in its entirety. All I have seen so far is just promotional material, but it looks GOOD!Lotus Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02081192215823615529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12738985.post-81655772175471922022010-04-05T17:04:04.497-04:002010-04-05T17:04:04.497-04:00The title, the cover, and most of all, your review...The title, the cover, and most of all, your review is tempting me to get this book immediately. I have always been intrigued by how and why women accept and happily live as "co-wives".

Very much in the news these days is Jacob Zuma's numerous wives and I wanted to read more about why so many men in Africa are polygamists and why the women go along with it. Is it so much a part of tribal culture or are there really benefits to the men and women. And do women even have a say in being a second or third wife? Another huge polygamist was Fela Kuti, Nigeria's singing icon. This book should make for an interesting read.Lotus Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02081192215823615529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12738985.post-64614822469829009102010-03-09T16:32:42.698-05:002010-03-09T16:32:42.698-05:00I think this is an interesting bok to read.Thanks ...I think this is an interesting bok to read.Thanks for the review.starryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00250437477875291892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12738985.post-23076275607374592562010-03-09T14:35:04.410-05:002010-03-09T14:35:04.410-05:00Angie, The title itself is intriguing enough for m...Angie, The title itself is intriguing enough for me to pick this up! And, what a gorgeous cover. It is really depressing to read about the conditions of women in Nigeria and the way they let men take control of their destiny. 'Things Fall Apart' made me realize me that very well. Sounds like a great book. Thanks much for the review :)Happy Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05170475118277864013noreply@blogger.com
