Obinkaram Echewa, The Crippled Dancer follows an Igbo family struggling in post-independence Nigeria, torn between their individual values and loyalty to one another.   Powerless to ignore his grandfather's lifelong feud with the village chief, a young and gifted student named Ajuzia is drawn into a world of scheming and intrigue. He soon finds himself up against a disturbing conspiracy – one that seeks to destroy his family's fortune for good.   In exploring family rivalries, accusations of witchcraft, and age-old proverbs, The Crippled Dancer is a vivid depiction of Igbo village life. Echewa offers a fascinating and cleverly woven insight into the changes wrought by colonialism and the traditions that prevailed – for better or for worse.   'Echewa [is] an impressive storyteller.'
