At first the vision is grainy but slowly it clears, and there appears the figure of a man.

When a country is plunged into civil war, two brothers on either side of it are divided. They will try to find their way back to each other. Kunle's search for his sibling Tunde becomes a journey of atonement which sees him conscripted into the army to fight a war he hardly understands. Once there, he will forge friendships to last a lifetime, and he will meet a woman who will change his world forever. But will he find his brother?

The story of a young man seeking redemption in a nation on fire, Chigozie Obioma's novel is an odyssey of brotherhood, love and unimaginable courage set during the Biafran War. Intertwining myth and realism into a thrilling, inspired and emotionally powerful novel, The Road to the Country is a masterpiece.


***MORE PRAISE FOR THE ROAD TO THE COUNTRY AND CHIGOZIE OBIOMA***

'Chigozie Obioma brings the Biafran War to life in a visceral yet mystical way. Loss, pain and grief are etched onto a canvas that seems timeless and endless. I grieve for those lost in that doomed declaration of independence but celebrate those, such as Chigozie, who carry their torches Nadifa Mohamed

This powerfully evocative and intimate book is unarguably Obiomas finest. Through subtle, piercing, and gripping language, he renders those seemingly simple but unforgettable moments when our lives intertwine with history, anchoring you to the pages until the end. The Road to the Country will remind you that our existence is the histories of past, present, and the futureand the importance of understanding that. This is among the best books Ive read in a while and is certainly destined to be a classic Ishmael Beah

His is a gorgeous prose, and the storytelling one expects from a gifted writer. . . . A truly unforgettable read -- Nicole Dennis-Benn
A writer who wields both the grand and the intimate with incredible precision and power. Obioma reminds us it is all real, even the surreal, and in his hands anything is possible. A wondrous novel -- Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, author of CHAIN-GANG ALL-STARS
There is hope, warmth, and moments of beauty. After stepping into this book, I dont think I will ever completely step out. it will stay with me forever -- Jenny Mustard
Set in the Biafran War, [THE ROAD TO THE COUNTRY is] a gutsy, often gory coming-of-age tale with romance at its heart. We follow Kunle, whose quest to find his brother, lost during the conflict, sees him taking up arms only for matters to get more complicated when he falls for a nurse in the field. Obioma follows the war novelists time-honoured strategy of transporting us viscerally into the fear and panic of battle, to say nothing of the drudgery and squalor. Mystical interludes portray the action as viewed from afar by a seer, but its earthy grit that propels this gripping period re-creation * Daily Mail *
