The concubine is another interesting novel. We have Ihuoma and Ekwueme as main characters including Ahurole. Can't remember the author. |

MurphyG1:Waoh,the Palmwine Tapper,the man loved Palmwine so much he had to go look for his tapper wen he died because no one could tap for him. @Bossun3 not be only u dey feel like that oh...then,we used to pride ourselves with novels especially the pacesetters series we have read.. Nice job @Op,good to know there are good novel lovers.i also loved: Koku Baboni..can't remember the author Twins of the rainforest.. Dizzy Angel.. People of the City..Cyprian Ekwensi.. Arrow of God... Kossoh Townboy.. Then most of the pacesetters series e.g.. For Mbatha and Rabeka.. Evbu my Love e.t.c. |
