Book Synopsis The Pact and Other Stories by : Umelo Ojinmah
Download or read book The Pact and Other Stories written by Umelo Ojinmah and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2022-02-16 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a time and culture where women left their wares in the marketplace knowing that those things would be intact when they returned the next day; where bonds of friendship were like blood ties, where when men shake hands over a deal, it was like iron clad agreements, breaking one’s word or promise was odious and people would inconvenience themselves to keep promises made. Socializations in Igbo societies indoctrinate members to subconsciously defer to cultural norms. One of the reasons, I believe, is the action and reward belief systems of traditional and Christian religions. While traditional religion instantly rewards actions, good or bad, Christian religion on the other hand prolongs the rewards to the point that people often disregard their consequences. The cultural beliefs that underpin many of these stories are profound. The dilemma of straddling between traditional and Christian beliefs, can be enervating. This book explores the faithfulness of friendship in The Pact Reloaded, and how fate and people’s destiny were often determined by the gods in The Dilemma of a Firstborn Priest and The Flute. Only the gods can ring a man’s eyes to see what other people can’t see. Oftentimes, peoples’ yesterdays catch up with their today, and the actions of their distant past haunt their present as explored in The Twins.

The Golds and the Hartes, neighbors for eighteen years, have always been inseparable. So have their children—and it’s no surprise that in high school Chris and Emily’s friendship blossoms into something more. But the bonds of family, friendship, and passion—which had seemed so indestructible—suddenly threaten to unravel in the wake of unimaginable tragedy. When midnight calls from the hospital come in, no one is ready for the truth. Emily is dead at seventeen from a gunshot wound to the head. There’s a single unspent bullet in the gun that Chris pilfered from his father’s cabinet—a bullet that Chris tells police he intended for himself. But a local detective has doubts about the suicide pact that Chris describes. This extraordinary, poignant novel paints an indelible portrait of two families in anguish . . . and creates an astonishingly suspenseful courtroom drama as Chris is put on trial for murder.
