Oburoni
‘Oburoni’ symbolises the sense of individuality, of being different yet warmly accepted in a land far from home. It shows the impact of relocation and adaptability. Change pervades the other stories: Brian and Pat’s new home, Trish’s search for a new job, Tom’s purchase, and Sonia’s long journey. Life involves family, whether watching a favourite TV program, welcoming long lost relatives, or seeking a beloved son. All these different themes peak in the joy of New Year celebrations.
Each story is addictive to finish
“Oburoni is an appealing book of short stories, which feels as though the writer knew each challenge described. One read each night would be a good way to forget self and be encouraged that every problem or new situation can be resolved, and strengthens you, so you can now relax and go to sleep.”
“Oburoni is in its own class of excellence”
“A fast moving collection of stories, each of them leaving you desiring more but often leading to abrupt endings. All of them are quite interesting and informative, but “Oburoni” is in its own class of excellence.”
The Writing is Direct yet Snappy
“This collection of short stories offers truly modern fiction and protagonists as easy to like as any paragon of virtue. They feature heroes found as easily as walking down the street or looking around the office.”
“The writing is direct yet snappy, with the ability to hyperfocus on details or gloss over the background noise the way that everyone employs their own personal filters. Small details like these help to make each and every story included here feel lifelike and realistic, even with such a wide variety of characters featured in each of the dozen stories presented.”
