Baba Segi's wives all led secret lives, and I loved how the author systematically wrote about it, which made me understand the story better and even enjoy it more.
This is a gorgeously written story of identity, sexuality, love, grief, friendship, and the need to live the life you want, even in a country where doing so might be deadly.
Also, the character development has reached a level where readers can actually identify characters by their speech, mannerisms and actions. It's the height of realism.
It also brings to light people's arguments for people who do not want kids. The overwhelming opinion in society is that such people will eventually grow out of the sentiment.
