The Road We Travelled a Memoire of Two Worlds, a book by a prolific writer and a Nigerian born Author based in Spain, Uchendu Precious Onuoha has been approved for use as college literature book in Nigeria.
The book which is among the approved textbooks for college literature in the school curriculum for year 2015-2018 recently released by the Government of Abia State of Nigeria Ministry of Education, was published by iUniverse in U.S.A and lunched in Spain in 2013 and presented a year after in Nigeria. In the book which arrests interest at first glance, Uchendu talked about childhood experience and the reality of living abroad which many do not feel bold to relate.
The synopsis reads: The ROAD WE TRAVELLED is a lucid prose, captivating and inspiring. It tells the story of Uchendu, a lad from an idyllic rural setting in Nigeria, who sought for greener pasture in the Whiteman’s country. It has deep lessons to be derived from, even as it is informative and entertaining.
This event filled book catalogues the writer’s odyssey through life, from his early childhood experiences to his present day realities, and it is both frank and philosophical in its interpretation of his encounters and the circumstances surrounding each episode, from the sweet, the bittersweet to the downright unsavory but the great charm and magnetic appeal of this book lies in its surreptitious humor and some of the hilarious incidents that are captured within it is delightfully engaging and highlights a few life lessons which remain constant through the ages. It is, above all, a testament to the resilience of the human spirit against all odds and in the course of his voyage of discovery, the writer, by his reactions at every instance gives credence to the oft quoted maxim that there is no chance, no destiny, no fate that can hinder or control the firm resolve of a determined soul.
The book is currently making waves abroad and has been translated into Spanish and is billed to be used as literature in other African countries.
