Set in a remote village in Eastern Nigeria, an area yet to be affected by European values and where society is orderly and predictable, this novel concerns a woman 'of great beauty and dignity' who inadvertently brings suffering and death to all her lovers. Written in a grave and simple style the novel portrays a society still ruled by traditional gods and offers a glimpse into the human relationships that such a society creates.
