Broken Dreams on Lofty Hills

Suspenseful. Fluid. Poetic. With stylistic panache, this novel takes the reader through different layers of rots and vices in relation to the socio-political and economic realities of twenty-first century Nigerian society. Through a carefully woven plot plied by two narrative voices embodied in the subliminal thoughts of a young protagonist who moves kinetically in search of meanings in a broken world of broken dreams, the novel is a remarkably brilliant work of imagination and reality, inventively blended.
Broken Dreams on Lofty Hills is the compelling work of a literary craftsman.

An intriguing plot where suspense mixes with intense passion and memories. Dreams dissipate and distil within these pulsating pages of this bildungsroman novel, which is a remarkable product of careful reflections about a past that was both pleasure and pain. It explores various themes, where the interesting life of the central character is eclipsed in a highly disciplined religious and academic institution, prided in character formation and knowledge acquisition. It is a must-read. Highly recommended.
