Interesting novel describing the culture of an African village around the turn of the 20th century. In the first part of the novel, the local culture is shown to be complex and untouched by European influences. Then the English Christian missionaries arrive and "things begin to fall apart." The novel is basically an indictment of British colonialism and portrays a vivid picture of how colonialism wiped out native culture. Orwell's Burmese Days is another novel portraying the negative effects of colonialism. I would recommend both.
