No Longer at Ease by Chinua Achebe

4.0

On 2nd reading, I upgraded my rating from 3 to 4 stars. It's- a deceptively simple book full of humanity and subtle humour. It looks sympathetically at human weaknesses, foibles, follies, and ego. Traditional Nigerian culture and modern western ways are viewed sardonically, but not mocked. A striking book and an easy read.
