About the Book

The Compound is a story about Marshall, who grew up in the village of Alaoji, his mother's home village near Aba, in Abia State, Nigeria. He did not know who his father was. Marshall goes to reside with his stepmother Mbonu, at Okokwu village. Mbonu, who knew that her son, who was abroad on studies, the owner of the Compound, would never approve of the idea, to adopt a twenty four years old man, refused to inform him that, a stranger had joined them in the Compound. The struggles of Marshall who sought for his identity, and the identities of his four sisters for recognition, existence, womanizing, romance, pretences, and summons, forms the centre of the story. After about fifteen years of what seemed normalcy in Marshall's life at Okokwu village, he committed abomination, and he was driven into exile.
