The Concubine, Elechi Amadi's most celebrated work of fiction, paints a picture
of pre-colonial life in rural Eastern Nigeria and explores the boundary between
myth and reality.
Ihuoma is a woman of great beauty and dignity, beloved in a village that remains
untouched by colonialism. By all accounts, she should be happy and in love. Yet

that she falls in love with meet an inexplicable - and unpleasant - end...
Brimming with lyrical prose, jealous gods, and masterful suspense, The Concubine
is a tale about Igbo culture and beliefs. An unforgettable story full of beauty
and tragedy.
