Title: No Longer at Ease
Genre: African Literature, Historical Fiction
Author: Chinua Achebe

Description:
Published in 1960, No Longer at Ease is the sequel to Achebe's acclaimed novel Things Fall Apart. The story follows Obi Okonkwo, the grandson of Okonkwo, as he returns to Nigeria after studying in England. Armed with a Western education and an idealistic vision of change, Obi faces the challenges of modern Nigerian society, caught between tradition and the new influences of colonialism and Westernization.

As Obi navigates his new life, he grapples with issues of identity, cultural expectations, and the complexities of love and family. His struggles become a microcosm of the broader tensions within Nigerian society as it transitions into independence, highlighting themes of corruption, loyalty, and the clash between personal aspirations and communal responsibilities.

No Longer at Ease is a poignant exploration of the complexities of identity and belonging in a rapidly changing world, making it a significant contribution to African literature and a thought-provoking reflection on the legacy of colonialism
