Publisher's Synopsis
Set at the turn of the century in a Nigeria awakening to turbulent democracy after sixteen years of military rule, where roving state-backed vigilantes fuel roadside bonfires with butchered human bodies, and Castro-bearded secessionists rally for the rebirth of Biafra, Kachi Ozumba's novel is a story of human endurance, of filial love sorely tested and of the darker sides of the process of justice.
