Mbue's grand narrative of colonialism and oil's slow-catastrophe in Africa reconfigures readers as its small village characters try every strategy to survive. Compelling reading.

Poignant, political, innocent and worldly at turns, Mbue's tale is Achebe for the 21st century, a dark and compelling tale of capitalism and resistance.

A village recklessly kidnaps the white liaisons for a company that has polluted their lands and killed their children. An act of desperation or something else? Already a gripping read!
