Review of Adoka Son

[Jaadugar Yadu]

Adoka Son, like such a book, grabs the reader with a new side of Africa as we know it. It's a nostalgic trip, colorfully narrated with a sprinkle of cultural perspective, and a homage to family relations indeed!

That between the fleeing protagonist and his brave grandmother, Ob’Ikwu, is the central concern. Ob'Ikwu embraces the spirit of Idoma tradition through the impartation of wisdom and strength to make her grandson stand fast to his cultural identity even amidst change.

Ad'Obe Obe champions the African cultural heritage. In his book, 'Adoka Son', the author has successfully blended African culture with the European culture which has emerged together with religion. He has downplayed the cultural conflict but distinguishes it as cultural evolution.

The theme of family value has been brought to the fore, religion being the force behind it. The review has successfully created the urge to read, not only to Africans but also to non Africans. It is a good book to quench your reading thirst with.

The reviewer effectively outlines the storyline, starting from the author's childhood experiences in Ogobia and delving into significant events such as the influence of the Roman Catholic Mission and the clash of cultural practices with foreign influences. The mention of memorable incidents and rituals adds depth to the review, giving readers a glimpse into the narrative's texture.
