The Fishermen

Mythic Nigerian family saga meets modern tragedy.

If you're drawn to stories with a potent blend of myth, family, and destiny, "The Fishermen" is calling for you. It's not just a tale about brothers and prophecies; it's a profound exploration of the human spirit amidst the political and cultural complexities of 1990s Nigeria. As you peer through the eyes of young Benjamin, Obioma's prose might pull you into a world where youthful adventure collides with the weight of fate.

Description

In a small town in western Nigeria, four young brothers take advantage of their strict father's absence from home to go fishing at a forbidden local river. They encounter a dangerous local madman who predicts that the oldest boy will be killed by one of his brothers. This prophecy unleashes a tragic chain of events of almost mythic proportions.
