Accra, Ghana, the 1970s. In the streets, marketplaces and crowded houses of this sprawling city, an unforgettable cast of characters live, love and try to get by: an idealistic professor, a beautiful young witch, a wide-eyed student, a corrupt politician, a healer and a man intent on founding his own village. Through their stories, and those of the living, breathing city itself, Kojo Laing's dazzling novel creates a portrait of a place caught between colonialism and freedom, eternity and the present. 'The finest novel written in English ever to come out of the African continent' Binyavanga Wainaina

What Is it about?
Critically acclaimed Ghanaian author Kojo Laing’s second novel takes the reader on a fantastic journey filled with unforgettable characters and magical places.
Laing imaginatively manipulates the English language, stretching it so that it is able to reflect his unique worldview. This unforgettable story, arcing between the twin sister towns of Tukwan in Ghana and Levensvale in Scotland, challenges every conception of what fiction should or could be about.
