Beautiful and heart wrenching story set in Nigeria in the early to late 1960’s, leading up to, during and slightly after the Biafran war. Interesting and captivating characters all from different classes and tribal backgrounds intertwined perfectly.

If you are interested in learning some Nigerian history and don’t want a text book read, this is the one.They should definitely be teaching this in schools- A history lesson without knowing !!

If every political conflict or war could be described via a novel of this quality we would all have a much deeper understanding of the people of the world.
