ABH Book Club: Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe

Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe.
Let's dive into one of the most powerful African novels ever written — Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe.

Set in pre-colonial Nigeria, Achebe’s masterpiece gives voice to African history and culture through the eyes of the Igbo people, just as European colonialism begins to take root. It’s more than a story about one man — it’s about a whole way of life, disrupted and redefined.

Reading this novel isn't just a literary journey — it's also an act of Pan-African awareness. Achebe’s writing restores African dignity, challenges colonial narratives, and invites us to think deeply about identity, resilience, and unity.

If you're interested in African heritage, decolonization, or just want to read a gripping, beautifully written story — don’t miss this one. Let’s read it, reflect, and talk about what it means for us today.
