Title: One man's struggle...
Product review: You can feel for Okwonko in this book. On the outside, he is a hard man, but on the inside you can see that he cares for his ward (who ended up having to be killed) and his family. He is a man who values hard work (which is more than can be said for many lazy folks today) and as a result is a highly respected person in his village.So when he loses it all because of a accident, you can't help but feel bad for him. He and his people also have to deal with the intrusion of the white men and their church and the BS that they give to the whole village.I was disappointed in the ending, but at the same time it made sense to me that he did what he did. Overall, it was a powerful book, and I am happy to have read it. It also gives you a nice insight into African culture.
