This House Is Not for Sale by E.C. Osondu
4.0
A riveting collection of short stories centered around an old 'family house' and its occupants.
Every story follows a different member of the household, exploring vast themes and encapsulating the rural essence which the novel is grounded in. Some stories have an ambiguous feel to them, which in hindsight might put off some readers but personally I feel that's what really makes this book come alive. We don't even know who is actually narrating these tales for us.
A 4.5 and sure to be re-read in the future.
Favourite story: Ibe
