An Orchestra of Minorities by Chigozie Obioma
4.0

Sacrifices we make for love, is what sums up An Orchestra of Minorities; Chigozie Obioma retelling of Homer’s Odyssey. Obioma’s modern myth is made authentic by blending in African folklore, fables and proverbs and articulating a range of poetic voices. Told through Chinonso’s ‘chi, this guardian Illuminates Igbo mythology, enchants us with detours to various realms, and gives us with a gripping account of its host’s travels. I really enjoyed the ride Obioma puts the reader one.
