God of Mercy by Okezie Nwoka

challenging dark fast-paced

4.0

 Somewhere in Igboland (a region in Nigeria) is the small, remote village of Ichulu. This village has resisted European languages and religions in spite of all outside pressure. Their Igbokwe talks to the gods on the villagers’ behalf, warning them of floods and praying for healing or boons. Life is good. But then a girl who can’t speak aloud begins to fly, which throws everything into question. In God of Mercy, the challenging novel by Okezie Nwọka, we see what happens when two men who are afraid of the wide world twist their traditions to try to control the girl who can fly. 

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley, for review consideration. Read the rest of my review at https://abookishtype.wordpress.com/2021/10/07/god-of-mercy-by-okezie-nwoka/
