Osondu toys with innovation in this book
and he is successful at it. The mansion “Family House” that houses all
these characters is a living, breathing, brooding character in its own
right, ruled by Grandpa, the patriarch, mafia don, fixer and enforcer.
It is a rowdy house, the reader gets the impression that it is a house
of umpteen rooms. Many people come to this house in this mythical city
to try their fortunes, seek solace from terror, flee their demons, and
in a few cases, their crimes. “Family House” is a not-so-mute witness to
life, dishing out opinions through its many characters that live in
her. As an experiment in writing out of the box of orthodoxy, Osondu
pulled that off nicely." Ikhide
If you want a text on how to belittle women that is full of superstitions and outdated notion, this is the book for you.
