A review by katrinalenhernandez
The African Trilogy: Things Fall Apart; Arrow of God; No Longer at Ease by Chinua Achebe

medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

4.0

 A perfect illustration of how the desecration of a culture leads to the downfall of its individuals. The series also gives a good picture of the periods in Nigerian history: traditional, intrusion of foreign culture, and what is left after the two mix.
