These two works, along with the third book, No Longer at Ease, are sometimes called The African Trilogy, as they share similar settings and themes.

The novel was published as part of the influential Heinemann African Writers Series.
The phrase “Arrow of God” is drawn from an Igbo proverb in which a person, or sometimes an event, is said to represent the will of God. Arrow of God won the first ever Jock Campbell/New Statesman Prize for African writing.
