Publisher's Summary
Shortlisted for the Booker Prize 2019
From the Author of the Booker-shortlisted novel, The Fishermen.
A young farmer named Chinonso prevents a woman from falling to her death. Bonded by this strange night on the bridge, he and Ndali fall in love, but it is a mismatch according to her family who reject him because of his lowly status. Is it love or madness that makes Chinonso think he can change his destiny? Set across Nigeria and Cyprus, An Orchestra of Minorities, written in the mythic style of the Igbo tradition, weaves a heart-wrenching tale about fate versus free will.

Heartrending and transformative
The text, with its deeply wrought physical and emotional moments, beautifully read. The ability of human beings to become contemptuous of each other explored at every scale. Loyalty to each other, deeper than love or forgiveness, also. This work places the Crucifixion in the hearts of humanity, but not only there.
