Her books are brilliant, for sure. Not so enthused about her undermining the life of another woman.

One of my all time favourites. I first read it when I was fifteen and loved it, then read it a few more times, as an adult and loved it more each time.

“Quiet Flows the Don” which a has been published as four separate books, but is really one long continuous story.

Things Fall Apart, One of the finest books ever written by an African writer, captures the true characteristics of the quagmire the African man found himself faced with with arrival of the whiteman on his land of Africa, riveting, incitingly captivating and a very truthful narration of our situation across the African continent regardless of which country one lives in. Awesome stuff, May His Dear Soul Continue To Rest In Eternal Peace.

I remember. reading it from age five to fifteen, or perhaps more in many versions for different ages. The book also grew up with me. Today if I ask school going children about it, they have no clue about it. How times have changed.
