Things Fall Apart remains a literary masterpiece almost three decades since its release. At first slow and meandering, offering a survey of Igbo culture prior to the devastation of British forces, this novel shows just how quickly and suddenly a people can be made to fall apart when faced with colonial rule and violence.

Achebe's compelling writing pulls you into the Igbo culture, until you feel like you're with them amongst the palm trees and the red earth. Okonkwo as a character is someone I would probably absolutely hate but I couldn't help but feel bad lol.
Really good book, perfect if you wanna contemplate on the loss of African (or just native tribal) culture due to colonisation, and patriarchal society and how it affects not just women but men too. Also for the descriptive food. Palm wine, anyone?
