This prophecy breaks their strong bond and unleashes a tragic chain of events of almost mythic proportions.Passionate and bold, The Fishermen is a breathtakingly beautiful novel firmly rooted in the best of African storytelling. With this powerful debut, Chigozie Obioma emerges as one of the most original new voices of modern African literature.
