Told from the point of view of nine-year-old Benjamin, the youngest of four brothers, The Fishermen is the Cain and Abel-esque story of an unforgettable childhood in 1990s Nigeria, in the small town of Akure. When their strict father has to travel to a distant city for work, the brothers take advantage of his extended absence to skip school and go fishing.

I'm grateful it's fiction

Chapter after chapter, this story left little but deep incisions in my heart, but in the same spot, so that the wound got deeper and more painful as I listened on.
Until the last chapter when, emotionally battered, physically tired and needing to lie down to continue, ChigoIe mercifully let my bloodied heart start to heal.
This one touched my soul.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 292
A dazzlingly accomplished debut collection explores the ties that bind parents and children, husbands and wives, lovers and friends to one another and to the places they call home. In “Who Will Greet You at Home”, a National Magazine Award finalist for The New Yorker, a woman desperate for a child weaves one out of hair, with unsettling results. In “Wild”, a disastrous night out shifts a teenager and her Nigerian cousin onto uneasy common ground. In "The Future Looks Good", three generations of women are haunted by the ghosts of war.

Captivating stories

Great stories. They were very riveting. I chafed at not having closure sometimes.
As a Nigerian, I didn't really enjoy the narration.
