Reviews
—————————
This novel, by a talented young author, is an important contribution to inter-cultural literature. Set in Nigeria and the UK, it is written in a style that reflects both cultures. It is the story of a relationship and marriage between young people from Nigeria who come to the UK. Most of the book is set in Nigeria and gives the reader a rich picture of ordinary life for young people and their families. Vivien Ayinotu has much to offer to readers in different parts of the world.

The novel rotates around tortuous life experiences of a group of a group of school friends, focused, ambitious and vibrant, from their school days through their working class years and intricate social relationships that culminate in the marriage of the novels hero with his childhood female counterpart. The moral lessen of the novel is that patience fidelity and genuine love are the tonics to happiness in numerous life undertakings. This novel is therefore recommended to arm every youth with those experiences that culminate in success and happiness.

“Happiness at Last” is the first book by young Nigerian writer Vivien Ayinotu. It is a charming short story about friendship and the first steps that the characters take on leaving the security of home life. Their doubts concerning work, love and marriage are clearly and gently described. One also learns something about Nigerian traditions. An enjoyable read.
