Krátky popis
'Chigozie Obioma is a writer to watch' The Economist Umuahia,
Nigeria. Chinonso, a young poultry farmer, sees a woman attempting
to jump to her death from a highway bridge. Horrified by her
recklessness, Chinonso joins her on the roadside and hurls two of
his most prized chickens into the water below to demonstrate the
severity of the fall.The woman, Ndali, is moved by his sacrifice.
Bonded by this strange night on the bridge, Chinonso and Ndali fall
in love. But Ndali is from a wealthy family, and when they
officially object to the union because he is uneducated, Chinonso
sells most of his possessions to attend a small college in Cyprus.
Once in Cyprus, he discovers that all is not what it seems.Furious
at a world which continues to relegate him to the sidelines,
Chinonso gets further and further away from his dream, from Ndali
and the place he called home.In this contemporary twist of Homer's
Odyssey, in the mythic style of the Igbo literary tradition,
Chigozie Obioma weaves a heart-wrenching epic about the tension
between destiny and determination. 'Chigozie Obioma truly is the
heir to Chinua Achebe' New York Time Book Review
