Just what the title says, I have just read this book again and will be reading the rest in the trilogy. I've enjoyed the insight into what must the Ibo culture before colonialisation.

Can anyone recommend similar books with an insight into the Yoruba culture or perhaps even Nigeria pre colonisation and during? Preferably written as novels.

Thanks.
