A heartbreaking story about a Nigerian poultry farmer who sacrifices everything to win the woman he loves, by Man Booker Finalist and author of The Fishermen, Chigozie Obioma. "It is more than a superb and tragic novel; it's a historical treasure."-Boston Globe Set on the outskirts of Umuahia, Nigeria and narrated by a chi, or guardian spirit, An Orchestra of Minorities tells the story of Chinonso, a young poultry farmer whose soul is ignited when he sees a woman attempting to jump from a highway bridge. Horrified by her recklessness, Chinonso joins her on the roadside and hurls two of his prized chickens into the water below to express the severity of such a fall. The woman, Ndali, is stopped her in her tracks. Bonded by this night on the bridge, Chinonso and Ndali fall in love. But Ndali is from a wealthy family and struggles to imagine a future near a chicken coop. When her family objects to the union because he is uneducated, Chinonso sells most of his possessions to attend a college in Cyprus. But when he arrives he discovers there is no place at the school for him, and that he has been utterly duped by the young Nigerian who has made the arrangements... Penniless, homeless, and furious at a world which continues to relegate him to the sidelines, Chinonso gets further away from his dream, from Ndali and the farm he called home. Spanning continents, traversing the earth and cosmic spaces, and told by a narrator who has lived for hundreds of years, the novel is a contemporary twist of Homer's Odyssey. Written in the mythic style of the Igbo literary tradition, Chigozie Obioma weaves a heart-wrenching epic about destiny and determination.Binding Type: Paperback

Great shoe - funky sizing!
Size: 9.5, Color: 8/Brown
I was looking for a dress shoe for my fiance for our wedding. The day will be primarily outside, so we loved this style because its much more comfortable and supportive than a traditional dress shoe. The look of these is great, they are beautifully made and have a great color. My only complaint is that the sizing is a little off. They run pretty large. My fiance wears between a 9-9.5, but usually buys a 9.5 We had to buy 4 different pairs before setting on the size 8. He reports they are so comfortable and a great shoe, just know if you are buying for an occasion you might need to exchange for sizing. I would buy at least a full size smaller.

These were perfect for our tropical destination wedding
Size: 9.5 Wide, Color: 8/Tan, Size: 9.5 Wide, Color: 8/Tan
I bought these for my husband to wear at our tropical destination wedding. They are fairly lightweight so they didn’t add too much weight to the luggage. He needs a wide in some shoes, others he can get away with a normal width. He said he felt really good. I would definitely recommend, and I would buy again.

Nice look, nice price, but not durable
Size: 12, Color: 8/Black
I really like the way the shoes looked, and the price was good. Unfortunately, the seam first busted after only about 5 months. It has been about 10 months now, and the seam is busting all the way around the shoe.
