Tanure Ojaide

Opis

Set in the Niger Delta this novel tells the tale of a womens struggle for equality in a traditional patriachal society. Against the backdrop of a once-in-a-generation festival at which the one chosen by the gods performs the dance of "the mother mask", Ojaide weaves a tale of suspense while at the same time displaying the traditions and religious beliefs that define the Niger Delta.
