by Chinua Achebe

First published in 1958, this is the story of a strong man whose life is dominated by fear and anger. It is also a social document, recounting the impact of colonialism and Christianity on the life of an African tribe - the Ibo - in turn-of-the-century Nigeria.

I was forced to read this in high school, and I didn't really like it or enjoy it. I should give it another go, but I just really remember not liking it the first time around.
