Months of October and November

"Things Fall Apart"

"Things Fall Apart" is a 1958 book written by Nigerian author Chinua Achebe. The novel is a depiction of Nigerian tribal life before and after the coming of colonialism. The book is split into three parts.

Part One: Describes Okonkwo's family, personal history, and the customs and society of the Igbo.

Parts Two and Three: Introduce the influence of British colonialism and Chrisitian missionaries on the Igbo community.
