If there was one book that caught the minds and imagination of young Africans across the continent in the past century, it is Chinua Achebe’s classic novel, Things Fall Apart.

Written in 1958, it captures an Africa in transition politically, economically but most earnestly, its customs and traditions in a post-colonial time.
