"Only Big Bum Matters Tomorrow" is an incredibly engaging book that initially captivates with its humor and the quick wit of Nigerian mothers and aunties. However, as the story unfolds, it reveals itself to be much more layered than its title suggests. The narrative weaves together the complex lives of various women, exploring themes of love, loss, identity, and grief.
As someone preparing for a move to Nigeria, this book has deepened my appreciation for the richness of Nigerian literature. It beautifully encapsulates the vibrant culture and the profound, often poignant, experiences of its characters. Through their stories, the book offers both a heartfelt and humorous glimpse into the multifaceted lives of Nigerian women, making it a memorable and impactful read.
