A heartbreaking elegy to Nigeria's lost promise
A beautiful and deeply tragic story exploring a family's secrets based in Nigeria. The novel follows four brothers in a small Nigerian village who are given a violent prophecy which shakes their family to the core.

Like most classic African novels in the Achebe-Ngugi tradition, The Fishermen mixes the traditional English novel form with the oral storytelling tradition, dramatising the conflict between the traditional and the modern. It is rather depressing but poignant.

This novel was the third in the Harry Hole series, but the first in the Oslo sequence, as the Bat and Cockroaches took place outside of Oslo. The novel was well-paced, and I enjoyed reading it the second time, as much as I did the first time. Since this is the first in the Oslo sequence, a lot of the recurring characters are introduce, such as Rakel and Oleg.
They so should have started with this book for the movies.

Very good idea, at times a little tedious
This is a well-written, dialogue based novel, constructed coherently highlighting the theme of gang culture in the UK and the pitfalls of being surrounded by it. While the premise of this novel is superb, after a while the protagonist's monologue becomes a little tedious and I ended up losing focus. It's heartfelt, no doubt, understanding the circumstances of how he ended up in the dock. Good idea but falls a little short.
