FROM THE TWICE BOOKER-SHORTLISTED AUTHOR

Longlisted for the Dublin Literary Award, the Joyce Carol Oates Prize, and the New American Voices Award

Named a Best Book of the Year by the Economist, Boston Globe, and Kirkus Reviews

When a country is torn apart by civil war, Kunle and Tunde are separated, each on opposite sides. Desperate to find his brother, Kunle’s search becomes one of atonement, leading him to join an army and to fight in a war he barely understands. Amidst the chaos, he forms deep, lifelong friendships and falls in love. But his ultimate hope remains: to reunite with his family.

An emotionally powerful masterpiece, Chigozie Obioma’s odyssey of brotherhood, love, and extraordinary courage set against the backdrop of the Biafran War captures the essence of a young man’s quest for redemption in a nation ablaze.

Recensioni della critica

This powerfully evocative and intimate book is unarguably Obioma’s finest. Through subtle, piercing, and gripping language, he renders those seemingly simple but unforgettable moments when our lives intertwine with history, anchoring you to the pages until the end. The Road to the Country will remind you that our existence is the histories of past, present, and the future—and the importance of understanding that. This is among the best books I’ve read in a while and is certainly destined to be a classic (Ishmael Beah)
A spectacular blend of realism and mysticism, The Road to the Country is Chigozie Obioma at his finest. He is a novelist in a league of his own (Imbolo Mbue)
Incredibly moving and hopeful. Both an adventure story and a portrait of brotherhood, love and companionship. In each beautifully crafted sentence, Obioma shows us how the best of humanity is often created under extreme pressure (Nadifa Mohamed)
A major new African writer (Salman Rushdie)
A truly gifted writer, Obioma has proven yet again that he's a literary treasure (Nicole Dennis-Benn)
A spectacular blend of realism and mysticism, The Road to the Country is Chigozie Obioma at his finest. He is a novelist in a league of his own (Imbolo Mbue, New York Times bestselling author of Behold the Dreamers)
Chigozie Obioma has proven his mastery of craft in this sweeping, brilliant, and stunning novel. The Road to the Country is an eloquent, beautifully rendered study on time and place and the history that changed a nation. His is a gorgeous prose, and the storytelling one expects from a gifted writer. . . . A truly unforgettable read (Nicole Dennis-Benn)
A writer who wields both the grand and the intimate with incredible precision and power. Obioma reminds us it is all real, even the surreal, and in his hands anything is possible. A wondrous novel (Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, author of CHAIN-GANG ALL-STARS)
