Oburoni and Other Stories : Reading Glass Books : 9781962497039 : 1962497038 : 18 Sep 2023 : Oburoni symbolises the sense of individuality, of being different yet warmly accepted in a land far from home. It shows the impact of relocation and adaptability. Change pervades some of the stories: Brian and Pat's new home, Trish' s search for a new job, Tom's purchase, and Frank's chess skills. Life involves family, whether watching a favourite TV program, welcoming long lost relatives, or seeking a beloved son which feature in others. Reflections on the winding path of life appear with the students' first assignment, and the Sonia's long journey. All these different themes and backgrounds peak in the joy of New Year celebrations.
