mixedreader 's review for:

An Orchestra of Minorities by Chigozie Obioma

4.0

---

I was surprised by the construction, point of view and emotional depth to this book. Narrated by the soul/spirit of the main character, Obioma brings the reader deep into Chinoso’s mind. His fate seems already decided; he lives a life of hard times and is swindled despite his hard work. After imprisonment, he seethes for vengeance. There were times I was a bit lost in he narration, untangling important moments of reflection, but it’s a powerful and commanding second novel.
