It makes for spellbinding mystery to lose two spouses before one gets to the age of thirty. Not since The Concubine by Elechi Amadi, the epochal novel in which the heroine is fated to serve as the source of death for her suitors, has there been in African fiction a mythical cliff-hanger as Oyindamola Affinnih's heartrending two gone... still counting. Whilst Amadi's rural setting somewhat localises the tragedy Affinnih lends a cosmopolitan end-of-the-world measure to her tale which juxtaposes the rich ends of Britain and Lagos. This is a landmark introduction of a writer of great promise.
