a really fascinating book with a lot to digest. the depiction of a culture at a precipice of great change was really interesting because of the tension present in the narrative. the characters were very well written and really made for a story with themes that stay patched in the brain

The ending is quite anti climatic and seems kind of rushed. Characters are well developed

Kaikki hajoaa on hieno kirja. Se ei ole säälivä eikä rypevä, vaan tietyllä tavalla arkinen kertomus klaanista ja myöhemmin myös kolonialismista. Ymmärrän todella klassikkoaseman.

Things Fall Apart is fiction but truly read like nonfiction at times, in a good way. I felt like all the characters were real and that made me feel even more for them as the story went on. Okonkwo is a complex character, a strong-willed man, proud of his heritage, and willing to do anything to protect all he cares about. The ending saddened me deeply, I have no words for that but I will say that it will stay with me for a long time.

I highly recommend, do take care and check content warnings though, not an easy read!
