The inflicting moment seems to tarry because we heard no calls from any rain bird. Their cry we celebrate; for it settles down in our hearts. So long as I listen, it's the howling wind that is terribly heard. It brings no fortune, but the trouble that the life always girts. "Alas, our souls have so enough striven in the girdle of this world that is surd."

It is a fiction that shows the struggles between the nobles and the abandoned people people.It also shows how fragmented the Black Continent was before the coming of the Europeans. The book also brings out two-way struggle; the struggle away from selfish African rulers and the struggle away from colonial strategies.As the leader of Baidu laments concerning their ancestors "...through whose darkness we found our ancestors groping but still not succeeded. Because the laying of obstacles is made regular, a routine began by a nerd.But I call it a trial, for its effects can be mended."Do enjoy the fascinating scenes!
