| Sommario/riassunto: | Set in the Niger Delta this novel tells the tale of a women's struggle for equality in a traditional patriachal society. Set against the 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 displaying the traditions and religious beliefs that define the Niger Delta. |
