In his review of "The Road to the Country" the new novel from .yishaucanwrite writes on the grand themes & extraordinary narrative style.
"Obioma starts the book in an atmosphere of tension which he builds upon progressively from page to page as we are soon infested with an unquenchable desire to see the end of it all. In invoking Tunde’s accident and his ‘disappearance’ into a war zone, we are captured and taken along in the search.
Obioma is in love with Akure, the town of his birth, where parts of this novel are set. It is where the Aromires call home. Lagos and Eastern Nigeria, especially Enugu and Nkalagu, are also settings in the book."
