uzobaby:
Heard about her so much but Funny enough I'm yet to read any of her work. .this Efuru caught my interest..but I hope it will not be like Adichies 'Purple Hibiscus -that left me disappointed after reading despite the hype about the book

A great book.but you may become tired and confuse toward the end,After her marriage with Emenike or so,The will be husband that Efuru son killed why hunting for Lizard for sacrifice

Another Igbo writer, just like the late Buchi Emecheta the writer of "SECOND CLASS CITIZEN"

God bless her soul

Read all her books bumper to bumper while in high school.

really? ? I will look for the book

Nne5:

Why purple hibiscus?

If there's any book that left me disappointed it's 'Americanah'.

I've not read American ah because the 'Purple Hibiscus 'didn't even motivate my interest in her works

Mologi:


What don't you like about "purple hibiscus "?

The way she portrayed the characters in the book was just too extreme and the book bored me and I can't point out any theme from that book . .

Gmajor:


purple hibiscus is my favourite Adiche novel

kushercain:


purple hibiscus had the worst ending Eva. This efuru is a classic

Really, purple hibiscus is a great work, it is a great literal work with a very subtle story which absorbs you into its characters.the teller took her time to gently draw us into the environment or should I call it setting, by giving us some of the best geographical description, a story can offer.
Well one thing with works of literature is that your appreciation of them is dependent upon the environment you can easily relate with, for me I spent my early childhood in a small town, in the east part of Nigeria, and also constantly visiting relatives in the interior villages surrounding the town, where most nights we go to bed with folktales which has been handed down by being told for generations down the line. Also, latter part of my childhood, teenage and early adult life I spent in Lagos, i most times growing visited other parts of the country, these were my formative years. Therefore I appreciate and enjoy African stories or tales no matter the setting. I sometimes, also enjoy some foreign literal works, having traveled to some African, middle eastern, and western world such as America, but I do not appreciate their literal works so much, because deep within my subconscious, I cannot relate very much with their environment.

You are referring to *THE CONCUBINE* by *ELECHI AMADI* not purple hibiscus!

That's good but when it comes to romance or espionage, I think foreign authors do well in such areas, so blend your tastes in literary works

Well for romance stories, the female gender tends to appreciate them more, give a romantic tale of two frogs in love in a pond somewhere Uzbekistan, or love story of two koalas in Australia, the human mind especially that of the females has a way of recreating the characters of that bullfrog and the frog in Uzbekistan to the story of bayo and Nkechi in Lekki. In romance it has no bound like other stories
And for espionage novels, movies such as James Bond with which we grew up has already formed the basis on which we can appreciate such stories. Nevertheless we would appreciate our African stories more if put side by side with foreign stories, as long as they are being narrated by equally intelligent story teller
