Uncover the Sun_PDF

This riveting story captures the social dislocations that turn Ojadi, a brilliant high-school sports star, into an unrelenting social activist implacably at war with the oppressive social system of his time – symbolized by Chief Obidi, crafty politician and businessman, and the country’s opportunistic military rulers. This great novel vividly recreates defining features of the socio-political milieu of the 1980s in a sub-Saharan African country. It is an action-packed story in which real-life people as much as conflicting worldviews jostle for supremacy.

     In Uncover the Sun, whose bifurcated plot and sequences heighten the stakes at both public and personal levels, the author excellently delivers to the reader a moving story in which the lust for power and wealth, and the conflicts it provokes, runs concomitantly with romantic love while raising fundamental questions that tug at the heart of the human condition. Duve Nakolisa’s keen eye for detail, in-depth probe of his characters’ motives, ingenious story-telling skills and gifted use of language couple with his injection of entertainment and wit into the execution of his novel’s universally apprehensible conflicts to make this an enjoyable and timeless story.
