Publisher's Synopsis
The novel takes off like a plane on a tarmac, slowly. War meets ordinary people suddenly, disrupting their personal plans. Ginika, Eloka, Nwakire and others are students when the war breaks. Elokas father, a farmer has to leave his big farm to run for his dear life and Chitos husband is a teacher. No matter what you are engaged in, war will forcefully stop you. The novel tackles a lot of human related issues like raising a young woman at wartime, and how ordinary people live at wartimes, including soldiers who people depend on to keep the battles faraway -- how serious are these soldiers?
