It's been years since I read this book, but it was an absolutely unpredictable page-turner. It portrays the life of a woman in Nigeria in the 1960's. She begins as tribal royalty, but with the political changes in the world around her, she ends up in a modernized society. Her marriage and children disappoint her, but her strength of spirit shines through. Highly recommended.
