From the legendary author of Things Fall Apart--a long-awaited memoir of coming of age in a fragile new nation, and its destruction in a tragic civil war For more than forty years, Chinua Achebe maintained a considered silence on the events of the Nigerian civil war, also known as the Biafran War, of 1967-1970, addressing them only obliquely through his poetry. Decades in the making, There Was a Country is a towering account of one of modern Africa's most disastrous events, from a writer whose words and courage left an enduring stamp on world literature. A marriage of history and memoir, vivid firsthand observation and decades of research and reflection, There Was a Country is a work whose wisdom and compassion remind us of Chinua Achebe's place as one of the great literary and moral voices of our age.Binding Type: Paperback

Highly recommend
Size: King/Cali King(102"x90"), Color: Gray
I love this comforter so, so much. More than I ever thought I would. Yes, it sometimes slips off but the comfortableness of it outweighs this hands down. It feels nice, not too hot and the weight is perfect. Quality and durability have been excellent. I need one in white! This was a sale that came with a different white comforter that I purchased from Bedsure that I still haven't taken out of the package because I ended up loving this one so much!

Comforter only fits king sized bed one way, look for the lengthwise seams on the sides.
Size: King/Cali King(102"x90"), Color: Gray
Most comfortable comforter I've ever owned. Can't explain it, it truly feels cool while keeping you warm. We tripled it with the cooling bamboo sheets and a cooling bamboo mattress protector and are sleeping way better. Don't waste hundreds on luxury brands that dont work half as good as these, believe me we tried them and these are way better.

~* obsessed *~
Size: King/Cali King(102"x90"), Color: Gray
i am obsessed with this comforter. super soft and silky, and actually keeps me cool at night! it is thinner than i had thought it was but it is not an issue at all. i did think it was a bit on the small size for king bed but my fiancee and i havent had an issue with that either. another plus is that it is not like all these bulky comforters you have to fight to get into the washer/dryer! VERY easy to wash! i will likely just continue buying these when i eventually need a new one!

The perfect comforter for summer!
Size: King/Cali King(102"x90"), Color: Blue
I read all the comments before I ever buy, which is always helpful, it was very positive. I’m absolutely in love with this comforter! It’s so lightweight, but keeps me cozy at night! I don’t know why I waited so long?! It’s exactly as described 🫶🏻😴💤💤

Great blanket!!
Size: Full/Queen(88"x88"), Color: White
The weight is almost nothing. Soft and silky and warm when you need it. It is slippery, but if you put A duvet cover on it almost no slipage. It is a wonderful summer blanket. Thank you.
