Slickchuma1:
Nice thread. One classic that comes to mind is '[b][/b]When a child is Motherless' by Andrew Okogba. This book got me so emotional especially the part where he lost his mom in River Niger. Below is an excerpt from the book...

“Do not cry, my child. Your experience is in line with the experience of any child who is motherless. When a child is motherless, he knows no love. When a child is motherless, he lacks the tender hands of a mother who cares so much. His life is that of misery and sorrow. But life itself is full of hopes and there is no need to despair until destiny takes its course.”

Samguine:
I got deliveries just last week of The Concubine by Elechi Amadi, Toads for Super by Chukwuemeka Ike, The New Man by Femi Ademiluyi and The Passport of Mallam Ilia which I just finished about an hour ago. Currently reading the Famished Road by Ben Okri. Any one that has other classics, please let me know if we can exchange.

Samguine:
I've got soft copies of Things Fall Apart and No longer At Ease by Achebe, The Famished Road (Ben Okri) and I'm willing to share. Hard copies of The Passport of Mallam Ilia, The New Man, Toads for Supper, The Concubine... I don't know how that can be shared

I guess this thread can be an avenue where lovers of classics can share with one another.

Please does this book store have these books and where is it located in Ibadan?

Billy99:
You are wrong. She was not childless.
I can't remember clearly but she was beautiful but with a disability. One of her legs was shorter which made her walk funny. Her father was a quiet but well respected medicine man. Its a story of early child marriage, jealously, and the trails she faced growing up with a disability. Having to deal with taunts from her peers and others.

Cleo18:
I read the book titled WHEN A CHILD IS MOTHERLESS by Andrew Okogba when I was in primary school and cried a lot while reading it

Again, I read it while in secondary school and also cried.

No book has ever made me cry like that book did.

I should read it again.
Did any of you read it please?
