Loved it! Even though the plot was on the predictable side, the dialogue, cultural exposition, characters were all gorgeously executed. The humor and the emotional journey were strong enough.

Nota 4.5
Ler um livro da Nigéria traz um enriquecimento cultural enorme. Recomendo d+ essa peça, apesar de ter um roteiro um pouco manjado.

Haven't read a lot of plays. But this was interesting.. What i recall as being really funny was the servant Union. so funny. Wait tho, did the lion take the jewel?

A humorous play on the subject of human relationships, love, marriage and the games that take place in the pursuit of the ultimate goal whether it’s based on sincere love or just the desire to make a conquest.

Woke always makes me laugh!

An ingenious comment on the question of colonialism and gender; or a juxtaposition of the modern man with biologists sexism and the traditional ways of oppression. It is not a romantic play but feminist. It’s a social analysis of a Post-colonial society and the postulated dichotomie between modernism (Europe) and traditional (Afrika) and the moral implication of gender between them both.

i think this book is a great and excellent book to recommend to all high school in the Caribbean.

Wonderful descriptive writing. It packed a punch but I didn't like story line.

This book is great and i would like to read it.

The plot is very simple...with its chapters divided into morning, noon, night (if i am not mistaken). Anyway, this play contains several cultural knowledge about the tribe. You have Sidi who is the Jewel and she is the beauty of the village who got two opposing party interested in her, a modern English school teacher and the village headman. The book showcases issues of dowry, weddings, and western vs. African cultures/ values, to name some. The play is short so the book is not a hard read. It's funny too at some parts.

one those books that really opened my mind to richness and diversity of African tradition and ways of life, as well as the myraid of socio-economic issues that colonisation presents us to this day, particularly with regards to our lost identity.
