Told from the point of view of nine-year-old Benjamin, the youngest of four brothers, The Fishermen is story of an unforgettable childhood in 1990s Nigeria.

When their father has to work away, the brothers take advantage of his extended absence to skip school and go fishing. At the forbidden nearby river they encounter a madman, who predicts that one of the brothers will kill another. What happens next is an almost mythic event whose impact will transcend the lives and imaginations of both its characters and its readers.

I really like that you are drawn to the setting, you are drawn to the African town that it is setting. I find that you are transported to the boys lives. Do you understand their desires and their passions. Sometimes you even feel their stress.

I would recommend this book to people who are interested in Nigeria and Africa.
