What Members Thought

This is a great capture of Igbo culture, much of which is still relevant today for Igbo people. Entertaining and memorable characters but I thought the book ended a little abruptly with not much of a conclusion for some key secondary characters. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to get a true taste of Igbo culture before the infiltration of Western influences. Looking forward to reading the two remaining books in the African Trilogy.

I read this book as part of my literature course and I remember loving it. It is something I want to read again when I get my current 'to read' book list down :)
