Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Orimili takes his name from the great river that flows through his hometown of Kokocha - but while the river flows on to the wider world beyond, Orimili is anchored to his home, and yearns to strengthen those ties further. His ambition is to be accepted in the company of elders, to wear the thick white thread of office around his ankle.

In this first novel, Amechi Akwanya has created a complex community at the point of irrevocable change. With masterly precision and acute insight he delineates the forces that animate human relationships - that bind them and destroy them, and define society.
