    1. I loved loved hearing pronlunce all ghe characters' names with the Nigerian accent. 🥺🥺
    2. Listening to you i realise that i enjoyed the writimg so much that i forgot to critiacally engage with the book. Its an excellent piece of work I totally I agree. I thoroughly enjoyed the dialogue and appreciated, as you said, that he wrote as it would have happened between 2 Ibo people. For me this added texture to the work and helped me create vivid imagines of the scenes.

    Your comparison and analysis of Ezeulu and Okonkwo is so beautifully refreshing.

    I agree with you. I loved all three, but Arrow of god is sovereign. I think Ezeulu was uxh easier to sympathise with than Okwonko. I'm not from Nigeria, not even from west Africa. I'm from Uganda.

      Thank you for watching and commenting! I always wonder how non-igbos process the books and the story. Chinua Achebe crafted a masterpiece with that one

    I’m a non Nigerian and I thoroughly loved all 3 books from the trilogy, my favorite being ‘Things fall apart’
    2nd favorite is ‘No longer at ease’
