When Men were Gods (Paperback)

Ajuwa is entrapped by her father and forcibly deflowered in the open glare by a self-imposed husband, Ogor. The existence of a seed from that heinous marriage heightens the conflict that disrupts Ajuwa’s peace and sets her on a path of revenge against the men of Nawelle. As the clashes escalate, the destinies of Ajuwa and the town itself hang in the balance.

Praised for confronting gender oppression and the tangled weight of tradition, superstition, and faith, When Men Were Gods is a searing exploration of power, betrayal, and the cost of forgiveness — from the author of the acclaimed Ehianuka: God Heard The Gossips.
