House of Symbols is a remarkable achievement... in plot, style, characterization, atmosphere and every other thing that goes into a powerful novel. It is the story of the sensitive Osai as well as his Eaglewoman into whose bag "money flows like the Otaru River." Terror mingles with humour, pain with pleasure in this fascinating saga set in a town in Eastern Nigeria.
House of Symbols is a novel written by Akachi Adimora Ezeigbo , a Professor of English and Literary studies. It also won the NLNG $100,000 sponsored Nigeria Prize for Literature in 2003.
