New York: Random House, (2021) dj. Hardcover first edition - Second novel by this award-winning Cameroon-born author, set in the fictional village of Kosawa in an unnamed African country where "a battle is raging: On one side, the citizens of this once-idyll. On the other, the mammoth oil company Pexton, which has, over generations, polluted the village's water and air and ground and, through its malfeasance, killed a growing number of its children. With smooth prose from a number of narrators among the villagers, this tells the multi-generational saga of one small village's battle not just against one corporation and the dictator who profits from its avarice, but against neocolonialism itself."
