The Concubine (novel)

''The Concubine'' is the debut novel by Nigerian writer Elechi Amadi originally published in 1966.
Set in a remote village in Eastern Nigeria, an area yet to be affected by European values and where society is orderly and predictable, the story concerns a woman "of great beauty and dignity" who inadvertently brings suffering and death to all her lovers.
The novel portrays a society still ruled by traditional gods, offering a glimpse into the human relationships that such a society creates.
On its publication in London by Heinemann Educational Books, ''The Concubine'' was hailed as a "most accomplished first performance" and "an outstanding work of pure fiction".〔Eustace Palmer, "Elechi Amadi and Flora Nwapa", ''African Literarture Today'', no. 1, 1969, p. 56.〕〔Eldred Jones, "African Literature 1966-1967", ''African Forum'', vol. 3, no. 1, p.5.〕 A critical study of the novel was written by Alatair Niven, who called it: "an example of how an absence of conscious sophistication or experimentation can result in a novel of classic simplicity.... Rooted firmly among the hunting and fishing villages of the Niger delta, ''The Concubine'' nevertheless possesses the timelessness and universality of a major novel."〔Alastair Niven, ''A Critical View on Elechi Amadi's "The Concubine"'' (London, 1981), p. 7.〕
''The Concubine'' has been made into a film, written by Elechi Amadi and directed by Nollywood director Andy Amenechi; the film was premiered in Abuja in March 2007.〔(Elechi Amadi website, videos. )〕
