It is a dramatic and engaging read, laced with humor and extraordinary characters. The read also provides a realistic perspective on the state of affairs in Nigeria, with a depth of commentary. In Soyinka’s expert hands, the apparently disparate strands are woven together with a master storyteller’s aplomb. CHRONICLES OF THE HAPPIEST PEOPLE ON EARTH is a great and unputdownable read from start to finish.

Chronicles of the Happiest People on Earth - Wole Soyinka
The novel tells the story of a pact and an alliance formed between four friends, to make an impactful change in their nation. Now in the late stages of adulthood, against an evolving political landscape and a change of government, they drift apart, reunite, navigate complex familial relationships, and increasingly gain recognition in their professions — all the while, their paths interweave with those of prominent religious, community and government leaders, and the tide begins to turn against them, with dire consequences.
