Items related to Fitzgerald's Wood
Wistful is a peaceful town where the longings of the human heart bubble under the surface of suburban life. Fitzgerald is happy at school and at home but his concerns are anything but commonplace. His life changes forever when his father is killed on his way home from the timber yard. As Fitzgerald tries to decide where to inter his father's ashes, he finds himself struggling to understand who his father was and the nature of the burden that he seemed to carry throughout his life. This highly original, coming-of-age story with its gallery of unforgettable characters explores questions of family, identity, ancestral memory and a man's place in the world. Rich with wonder and wisdom, Nwokedi's writing is graced with whimsical humour, magic and a deceptive lightness of touch.

If you are only part African how do you know which part of you it is? In this highly original coming-of-age story, a young man sets off on a journey to take his father's ashes "home." What he finds is both divine revelation and resounding affirmation.
