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.

2.5 stars.

It had promise but parts felt rushed and the lack of a good love interest put me off too. I thought she might end up with Ash, and I suppose that COULD happen in later books but with what happened in this one, I can't say I'm that bothered to find out.

I don't think I'll be continuing the series.

I absolutely loved this sequel. I was so hoping that it would be worth watching and it definitely was. Ryan Reynolds broke the mold playing Deadpool, he was so good that nobody else would have been right for it. If you havent seen it, do it!!! I promise you wont regret it!!

Book Favorite

"The narrative around contemporary Africa’s cosmopolitan cities, exciting young people, vibrant artists, and rapidly evolving promise is, happily, becoming increasingly familiar to people around the globe. In this amazing book, David Adjaye looks at architectural space across the continent, dividing it into regions defined by climates and cultures, rather than artificially-derived national boundaries. Here the Maghreb, the desert, the Sahel, the forest, the Savanna and grasslands, and the mountains and high fields, are the defining features of how different architectures throughout Africa can be witnessed."
