Anansi Boys

Author: Neil Gaiman

Fat Charlie Nancy’s ordinary life is turned upside down when he learns his estranged father was Anansi, the trickster god. Suddenly, his charismatic brother Spider appears, bringing chaos and magic into Charlie’s world. As family secrets unravel and ancient powers awaken, Charlie must confront his heritage and find his own path. Gaiman weaves a captivating tale of identity, family, and the power of stories, blending humor and mythology in a way that kept me spellbound until the very last page.

Stories are like spiders, with all their long legs and stories are like spiderwebs, which man y people prefer to ignore because they don't always like what they find at the center of the web.
