About this book
A gentle Nigerian poultry farmer falls in love with a woman far above his station and gambles everything on a degree abroad, only to be swindled and stranded in Cyprus. His story is narrated by his chi, the guardian spirit of Igbo cosmology, who pleads his case before the gods while recalling generations of family history. Obioma braids myth, migration and obsessive devotion into a modern odyssey with a voice unlike anything else in contemporary fiction. Grand, mournful and often harrowing, it builds toward consequences you will not shake off quickly.
