Synopsis

When in 1960, Nigeria gained independence and the white men left, Thaddeus Iroha becomes the head of the local church in his district. It takes just assuming this position for him to unleash terror on his family.

When the Nigeria Civil War sets in, Thaddeus flees with his family to their village. There, things change so much, especially after Thaddeus was forced to kill a man captured by Biafran soldiers. Soon after that, he gives up on his religion and his wife, Chika, immediately resorts to fetish means to protect herself, while their two sons, Woha and Okey eventually become strangers.

The story is narrated by the first child, Woha, who, after the death of his father, fled from home because he could not withstand the harsh treatments he got from his mother and his brother.
Sprinkled with themes such as politics, war, religious fanaticism, hatred, and hope, We Will Live Again is a story of disintegration, and then hope for a rebirth.
