Summary: "The Bride Price" my thoughts...
Comment: The Bride Price by Buchi Emecheta is an insightful novel into the life of the Ibo people of Nigeria. Although the novel made me angry when I read it, I enjoyed the novels historical correctness whether I like it or not this is the way women were treated at this point in time. This novel gave me a wake up call as to how far things have come sense this time. No longer are we objects to be inherited by our dead brothers relatives or destine to marry who our small town chooses for us whether we love then or not. The story I think would have had a much better ending if Aku-nna could have made it. So that she could prove her culture's old superstitions wrong. All in all, I would recommend this book to any one that would enjoy a good story. Also it is a quick read, the novel keeps you entertained by the use of vivid images and a direct story line to follow so no one can get lost. This novel is similar in nature to Things Fall Apart which has one character names Oknkowo which is also used in the Bride price, this might suggest that he was a real man from that culture.
