I wanted to hear the entire story not a summary of the story . this supposed to be a beautiful story I think everyone will enjoy if it's in its original form

Good summary of Things fall apart

Glad to listen Things fall apart to refresh my mind over 25 years after using the book in school. it gives listeners a peek into the tradition of the Igbos, a tribe from the South East of Nigeria
