About Igbo Customs
The story is told in simple but rich language packed with Ibgo proverbs. The reader is left in no doubt about the author's intention to show that the 'primitive tribes of the lower Niger,' as the smug District Commissioner puts it, had a rich and varied culture.
It is mainly Okonwo's story but several characters take centre stage throughout the plot to put a spotlight on one or other aspect of Igbo tradition.
