Publisher's summary

By a riverbank in Africa, two lovers meet for the first time. They make a promise to meet again the next day, same time, same place, but only one of them shows up. This sounds like the beginning of a love story, but it's more than that, for this breath-taking tale takes the listener into the heart of a vibrant world, a complex and intriguing civilization of warriors and kings, philosophers and artists, parents and lovers. A world and culture which is about to end, for glimpsed on the horizon, seen but unsuspected, beautiful ships with white sails are waiting...

“Ben Okri is that rare thing, a literary and social visionary, a writer for whom all three—literature, culture and vision—are profoundly interwoven” ALI SMITH

“A magical take on Africa before the arrival of the Atlantic slave ships—a world of art and artists, lovers, storytellers and philosophers... The beauty of Okri's prose is [...] the overwhelming star of the show” INDEPENDENT
