The Fishermen

A family’s bond shattered by a prophecy spoken in anger which unravel the strongest of bonds.

Set in 1990s Nigeria, The Fishermen tells the story of four brothers whose lives are forever changed when a madman’s prophecy predicts doom. What begins as playful adventures along the banks of a river spirals into betrayal, superstition, and tragedy, unraveling the ties that once bound the family together. Chigozie Obioma’s prose is richly lyrical, capturing both the innocence of youth and the dark forces that seep into the margins of ordinary life.

The novel examines the fragility of trust, the power of fear, and the consequences of words spoken in anger. Through this intimate tale, Obioma weaves a story of human vulnerability, cultural tension, and the magical realism that makes the ordinary feel both beautiful and terrifying.

Heartbreaking, suspenseful, and unforgettable, The Fishermen is a meditation on fate, family, and the haunting echoes of our choices.
