Members Reviews:
excellent narrator
Good story well told. Harrowing and reply sad. Emotive unique. Wonderful to be immersed in the lives of a family in Nigeria even though the sadness so hard to bear.
Very slow
A very sad story but I couldn't engage with the characters. It is a snapshot of how superstition or belief in second sight can drive events but the story took a very slow route. Nothing like Achebe's Things fall apart.
The dangers of self-fulfilling prophecy lyrically told
This is a beautifully written book that is deep and meaningful, with a story that gripped me. Every time I had to put it down I desperately wanted to know what would happen next and continued to think about, and worry about, the characters.
I also really enjoyed the reading given here. I'm new to audiobooks and thought this narration was perfect, just what I'm looking for from this medium.
A story of Nigerian country folk.
I found the expert narration gave me an emotional experience of the life in Nigeria and and an understanding of the hopes and fears of the family. The boys were so loyal and affectionate that I felt I could forgive them for their misguided retribution for the hurt suffered by their brothers. Any parent will identify with the aspirations of these parents and their tragic suffering.
Tragic and sensitive
Highly recommended story of 4 brothers in Shakespearean style tragedy set in Nigeria. great performance.
