Description
It is not uncommon for a man to have two wives in Makani – a practice that is not without its problems – and for rivalry to be between the two women. However, when one woman is the complete opposite of the other – one is ‘the devil incarnate’ and the other ‘a divine angel’ – the problems take on another dimension.
Amoja and Torera, completely different from each other in character, are married to the same man, and experience near explosive situations in their household. It happens that Torera goes to the river to wash their dirty dishes one day, and Amoja’s igbako (utensil) gets swept away by the current – an incident that is to cause a lot of anxiety and distress for Torera. A few days before there has been an unbelievably huge row between Amoja and Torera over this same igbako.
Torera’s experience at the river when she comes across a mysterious old woman with a huge wound on her leg, horrible to describe, will change her life in a way she least expects.
Will Amoja’s life change in a way that she least expects when she decides to go to the same river and experience what Torera experienced there?
