Accra, Ghana, the 1970s. In the streets, marketplaces and crowded
houses of this sprawling city, an unforgettable cast of characters
live, love and try to get by: an idealistic professor, a beautiful
young witch, a wide-eyed student, a corrupt politician, a healer
and a man intent on founding his own village. Through their
stories, and those of the living, breathing city itself, Kojo
Laing's dazzling novel creates a portrait of a place caught between
colonialism and freedom, eternity and the present. 'The finest
novel written in English ever to come out of the African continent'
