Review of 'No Longer at Ease' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Second book in the African trilogy, this story of the disillusioned christian grandchild of the protagonist from Things Fall Apart.
The central story kept my attention but I found the settings, with colonial governments, independence, and corruption between old guard British administrators and newer Nigerian functionaries most interesting. The story centers around this man's life as a government functionary who struggles between family, community, relationship, and individual desires for money and influence and power.
Check it out if you're curious.
