I am looking forward to reloading my small library, and I would love to have more of Nigerian novels, and some good ones by other good African novelists. So plz recommend good novels written by Nigerians home or abroad, which you have read from beginning to end.

...possibly too, drop a hint on where and how to get them...thanks and cheers !

Caracta: Everything Good Will Come by Seffi Atta.

Purple Hibiscus

Thanks so much, but I have read all of em except the one in bold...that means I will have to find it...Things Fall Apart and half of a yellow sun by Chimamanda are amongst my best novels...so so touching and entertaining.... Thank u

Everything Good Will Come is actually a very good novel that potrays Nigeria and Lagos life. The main character lived at Ikoyi & while i read the book, it reminded me of places i've been to. You'll enjoy the book. It's thought-provoking.

There's another book, THE BOY CALLED 'IT' and THE MAN NAMED DAVE. Same author, can't remember his name. It's a biography. You'll love it.

Oh that sounds interesting...is it on Amazon, do you have an idea?

The author is Dave Pelzer. It should be on Amazon. You can Google it and see what comes up.
That book made me cry. I have lots of books, both local and foreign, maybe i'll just sift through them when i get home, and send you the ones by Nigerian authors.

Yellow-Yellow by Kaine Agari

i'd av added this but i'v been trying 2remembr d author's name.

Some of the books were not at bookworm bookshop here in Lagos, how & where can I find them?

The problem I have with lulu & amazon is payment/shipment...I also have a book on sale at lulu.

Think Farafina has very nice books. Always check out their cathlogues and website.

Most of the good ones I would have mentioned have already been mentioned.

The book will be available on Amazon kindle on friday,you can download it with $3.

Diaries of a dead African by Chuma Nwokolo is one of the most interesting and thought provoking nigerian novels i've read in a while. A sad book with hints of humour.
you can also check out 'Onaedo, the blacksmith's daughter' by Ngozi Achebe.
