#BBOTM: The Woman in the Iroko Mask: A Novel
A provocative story of revenge, tender love, magic and colonial art looting by Obinna Nweke.
Set in colonial Eastern Nigeria. Igwebuike, the village drummer and notorious trickster, wins the Iroko drum contest by cheating the gods of the clan.
The sweet tune of joy turns sour as the gods break loose against his family: His father runs mad and dies, his mother and betrothed are at the brink of death. He must wrestle face to face with the gods he cheated to be free. Only one person can save him now. To his astonishment, it is a woman from another world.
