In this book an African world view comes face to face with a Western world view - and the two world views class. From the diatribe that takes place between the proponents of the two world views (an old African man versus a Western man-of-God), the foundational tenets of both world views come into sharp scrutiny. This book is a 'must read' for anyone in pursuance of religious truth.

A complex social web forms the backdrop to this novel - the story of a man and two wives, one legally married to him, the other not. There is mounting pressure from a prying society with its norms on the one hand, and the pressures of the unmarried wife on the other. The story tells of the search for inner peace in an often sententious and inward-looking society.
