RHYTHMS OF MY DESTINY (Interactions between Personal Choices and Destiny in the Days of my Youth and Times of the Nigerian Civil War)

The book Rhythms of My Destiny contains stories from DJ Udoh's life, beginning from the time of the colonial era up till the present. It touches on many things that are fascinating for both the old-timers and the newer generations—even though it reads like fiction at times due to the references to the past based in rural settings and towns, transitioning between Aba, Ogoja, Opobo, India, Lagos, and further.

This non-fiction work reads at times like fiction. DJ's experiences of matters natural and supernatural are gripping—the references to major names in the Second World War as directly connected to his own father, the practices of fattening in past cultures, the sufferings of an orphan boy in secondary schools overseen by white men, experiences with traditional witchcraft, and the overarching victory of the power of God—make for very compelling reading.

Immerse yourself in a non-fiction that reads as fiction.
