BLACK SHOES
AUGUST 2009
Debut novel Black shoes is released!
What the critics are saying …
“BLACK SHOES offers a welcome relief from the “ghetto lit” being rung through cash registers across the UK… Ghetto lit will do well to take a leaf out of that book and walk a step or two in Obiora’s Black Shoes.”

“An intricately detailed novel. Deep, unsettling emotions stirred… a compelling read!”
http://juliettellewellyn.blogspot.com/2009/11/black-shoes-michael-obiora.html
“…it’s surprising that Black Shoes is Obiora’s first novel as he probes and wrestles with Daniel’s character like someone who has been writing for years… reveals a complicated, layered and three dimensional character in Daniel. A morality tale, with more than a ring of truth to it for modern Britain – this is a great start for the actor/author.”

”Obiora is a promising writer. This is more than entertainment, what transpires is a thought-provoking debut in the so called “post racial”, post-Obama election era.”
