Description:
187 pages.Won the 1992 Commonwealth Writer's Prize for best first book from an African author.From the back cover - It was midnight. The little village of Susa slept in darkness in the heart of the forest farms, among the tall trees. The mahoganies and sapeles stood tall in the dark sky, providing a canopy over the village and deepening the density of the pitch dark night. Drifting into sleep Adu was gripped by a nightmare. He was in the forest all alone - overwhelmed by fear - when the leopard sprang...To be chased by an animal in a dream was a bad omen. Someone was going to die. In this haunting tale the power of light struggles with the power of darkness to claim the life of Adu the 'grief child'.
