'A gutsy ... coming-of-age tale with romance at its heart' Daily Mail

When a country is plunged into civil war, two brothers on either side are divided but determined to find their way back to each other. Kunle's search for his sibling Tunde becomes a journey of atonement over a long-kept secret, leading him to conscript in a war he hardly understands. There, he forges lifelong friendships and meets a woman who changes his world forever. But will he find his brother?
From the twice Booker-shortlisted author Chigozie Obioma comes an odyssey of brotherhood, redemption, and unimaginable courage set during the Biafran War. Intertwining myth and realism, The Road to the Country is a thrilling and emotionally powerful masterpiece.

'Destined to be a classic' Ishmael Beah
