Description

Efuru is a novel by Flora Nwapa. The book is about a talented, brilliant, and beautiful Igbo woman named Efuru.

She falls in love with a poor farmer called Adizua and flees with him, disappointing her people as he did not even perform the traditional wine carrying and pay her bride price.

She lives in a small community in colonial West Africa that is confined by tradition.

A woman’s essential role was childbearing and if she does not fulfil that role she gets negative criticism from members of the society.

Throughout the story, she desires to be a mother, though she is well to do.

The book is an absolute portrayal of the Igbo culture.

My Command

$11.20
The author, one of Africa's most esteemed statesmen,a former head of state and president of Nigeria has also been a prolific author of books over the decades.  This was his first book, and from the initial publication, has remained very controversial. Sundry protagonists, critics et al seem to agree that the author hardly has a good word for other people, and apparently exaggerates his own deeds and "heroics".
