Description
In this groundbreaking novella, Cyprian Ekwensi transports readers to the heart of Nigeria, following the spectacular adventures of a nomadic Fulani family. Their lives, deeply intertwined with the rhythms of cattle herding and tribal traditions, are dramatically upended by the arrival of a runaway slave girl. As their world shifts, the narrative explores themes of tradition, displacement, and the challenges to established leadership within the Fulani community. Ekwensi's vivid prose captures the spirit of a people on the move, navigating a landscape of both natural beauty and social upheaval.
