520    The award-winning author of Voice of America paints a 
       vivid, fully imagined portrait of an extraordinary African
       family and the house that holds them together. A powerful 
       tale of family and community, This House Is Not for Sale 
       brings to life an African neighborhood and one remarkable 
       house, seen through the eyes of a young member of the 
       household. The house lies in a town seemingly lost in time,
       full of colorful, larger-than-life characters; at the 
       narrative's heart are Grandpa, the family patriarch whose 
       occasional cruelty is balanced by his willingness to open 
       his doors to those in need, and the house itself, which 
       becomes a character in its own right and takes on the 
       scale of legend. From the decades-long rivalry between 
       owners of two competing convenience stores to the man who 
       convinces his neighbors to give up their earthly 
       possessions to prepare for the end of the world, Osondu's 
       story captures a place beyond the reach of the outside 
       world, full of superstitions and myths that sustain its 
       people. Osondu's prose has the lightness and magic of 
       fable, but his themes--poverty, disease, the arrival of 
       civilization in an isolated community--are timeless and 
       profound. At once full of joyful energy and quiet 
       heartbreak, This House Is Not for Sale is an utterly 
       original novel from a master storyteller.
