The dispute over ownership of a fertile pond escalates into a bitter, all-consuming conflict where pride, honour and tradition collide, drawing ordinary villagers into cycles of tension and tragedy. Amadi vividly recreates the atmosphere of rural life – its rituals, hierarchies and moral codes – while showing how a seemingly simple dispute can swell into a drama with far-reaching consequences. Written with precision and a remarkable talent for evoking place and character, this is an unforgettable portrait of community, conflict and the forces that shape human destiny.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiscover more from the APOLLO AFRICA series: the new home for 100 timeless works from the legendary Heinemann African Writers Series.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57611824791925,"sku":"9781035930548","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9781035930548.jpg?v=1790501929","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.pro\/products\/9781035930548","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
