Wooow! I could not put this book down. It was filled with twists and turns to the effect that I stayed all night flipping page after page. The suspense was weaved masterfully within the chapters and pages to the effect that my mood also kept oscillating between the pages: I smiled; I frowned; I almost shed a tear; at a point I almost heard myself saying a word of prayer for the young man , Uduma… yes, it was as captivating as that. This is definitely a book that one can relax with. It will always make your day.
In the ‘Seven Strokes of the gods‘, the author sent my mind to the days of yore in the continent of Africa. The stories evoked memories that could make one close his eyes and shake the head with deepest nostalgia. It was a touching story. This is a must read for all lovers of literature and fascinating stories.
As is customary in African communication, stories are better told with adequate proverbs that add to the richness of the philosophy. You will see the aged giving out wisdom and words adorned with proverbs. It was also written in simple language, presented in a way that sounded musical to the ear-drums of the mind.
The choice of words was very spell-binding. I could read this book again and again without fatigue. ‘The Seven Strokes of the gods‘ is a ‘hit among African stories. It is a book that brings the characters to live. Written with a master’s pen. Please avail yourself of the richness of these rare pages and thank me later.
