I enjoyed reading this, although I couldn't quite connect with it. Really liked the way it's written.
At the beginning of the book, Okonkwo is the greatest warrior in his village and then one bad thing after another happens. There is so much to unpack in this book: his problems with his father, his son leaving him, the way he was willing to fight and kill to protect his village but no one else was and then killing himself at the end... Things really did fall apart for him...
