Description
Olailo’s weakness for beautiful women has got him into trouble countless of times. Little does he know the kind of trouble that lies ahead when an extraordinarily beautiful woman with a mysterious air about her, looking for hoes to buy, is directed to him at his stall as ‘the best seller of hoes (Oloko) in the town of Kasawa’.
The unusualness of the woman’s mission in Kasawa and her mysterious replies to the efforts made by Olailo to get to know her and where she lives – her references to problems, difficulties, dangers – are unheeded by Olailo when he decides to follow the woman home. Her repeated warnings to him to turn back fall on deaf ears. As the journey progresses, involving bizarre and dangerous rivers, dwellings and practices, Olailo begins to grasp the seriousness of the situation he is in but is undaunted by it. He is convinced that any hardship in the way of achieving his aim could be resolved by fighting, and his skills in that area are unprecedented.
Will Olailo’s fighting skills be enough to get him through when at their final destination he is faced with an incredible danger – the highest of all so far?
