Resumen del Editor

SHORTLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE 2019

From the author of the Booker-shortlisted novel, The Fishermen

'Obioma is truly the heir to Chinua Achebe' New York Times

A young farmer named Chinonso prevents a woman from falling to her death. Bonded by this strange night on the bridge, he and Ndali fall in love, but it is a mismatch according to her family who reject him because of his lowly status. Is it love or madness that makes Chinonso think he can change his destiny?

Set across Nigeria and Cyprus, An Orchestra of Minorities, written in the mythic style of the Igbo tradition, weaves a heart-wrenching tale about fate versus free will.

'A spectacular artistic leap' Guardian

'Brilliantly original' The Economist

'A remarkable talent' Independent

'Few contemporary novels achieve the seductive panache of Obioma's heightened language, with its mixture of English, Igbo and colourful African-English phrases, and the startling clarity of the dialogue. The story is extreme; yet its theme is a bid for mercy for that most fragile of creatures - a human' Eileen Battersby, Guardian

Be yourself, no matter what they say!

This refrain made me smile "I have seen this before, many times"

Love this novel, a great lesson in staying true to yourself and being authentic. The narrator captured the essence and atmosphere of the story quite well.
Looking out for other titles by the author.

Best novel in decades

I was wrecked and ruined while listening. But it was still so entisingly and beautiful written that I couldn't stop. This story is so sad, so all-consuming and so life changing that I can't help listening to it. The novel reminds me of great authors like Kafka, Dostojevski and Ibsen. It will mean a lot to many people.

This novel should have been shorter

I can’t understand why this book was 16 hours long. The first 8 hours drag terribly but then it gets very interesting in the last eight.

Emotional African tail

I like the central character, throughout the book I was back in his efforts. I really felt for his emotional well-being and sometimes
