If you liked it then I recommend Grain of Wheat, A Question of Power, and the Beautiful Ones are Not Yet Born as three other great African novels.

The beautiful ones is a superb read.

I'd also recommend peter Abraham's "a wreath for udomo" and ngugi wa thiong'os petals of blood ... Also Achebe's anthills of the savanna is a classic. Chinua is the greatest African go ever pick up a pen, no one comes close in my view 😂 Also, Somehow African lit during the colonial and early post colonial era was simply incredible. I dunno what happened.
