When Gods Were Slaves by Sharlow
About The Book:
When Gods Were Slaves is a novel of the human tragedy. At Ile-Ife, the Garden of Creation, young Akinjiya experiences the mystery of Oya. It is the land of Soyinka’s palm-wine girl, and where the bata-drums beat. A land of cultural infinity. The sub-title: A Search For Truth defies the historical texts, and brings to light some of the imperial farces played out in Willieforce’s England. Set against the most pernicious system of the other millennium, it is a story of passionate love, a testing of faith, and the struggle for survival along the road of Destiny. It is Anyika, meaning endurance - and much more. Finally, it is a tribute to the race of man.
My Thoughts:
I found this book took me longer to read than most books do. Not because it was uninteresting, but because it took me longer to sort of digest what was happening in the story. The dialogue is a bit different to try to follow. But if you take your time, you will end up having enjoyed the story. You'll learn about a different culture, and basically a different world all together.
