This is a portrait of the aftermath of the war in Biafra. The author evokes the destructive legacy of war through the lives of Alekiri, Ibekwe, Major Dansuku and Christie, for whom the end of fighting doesn't bring peace.
Ihuoma, a beautiful young widow, has the admiration of the entire community in which she lives, and especially of the hunter Ekwueme. But their passion is fated and jealousy, a love potion and the closeness of the spirit world are important factors.
