Publisher's Synopsis
Standing as a powerful metaphor for Africa's socio-political past and present, Kwakye's novel relates the internal battles of the twin Kakra as he struggles to come to terms with a past so jarring that he is only able to recall its details in a piecemeal and sometimes disjointed manner. Emotionally compelling, the novel focuses on intense sibling rivalry and, along the way, flirts with fratricide, shocking betrayals, joy, pain and ultimate triumph - but at a great cost.
