A tantalizing collection of romantic poetryFrom the blush of new love to the hurt and heartbreak of betrayal and unrequited love, Linda Wall shares a small part of her collection of over 250 poems written over the last 30 years. This is her first published collection of poetry. Ms. Wall says, 'Writing poetry has been a cathartic process for me all my life. These words you read were never written with the intention of ever been shown to another human being. They are the words of one woman's perspective of the human condition in searching for love and intimacy.' Amazing! Linda's work is beautiful. Powerful is a better description . . . I found her words so moving. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!(Val Clemont, author of Angel Advice) It 'will touch everyone who has ever been lonely, ever longed for that special someone.'(Cara Beckett, Carajaz Coaching & Publishing)
The story is the tragedy of Okafor, a village palm wine tapper, who fell from a palm tree and fractured his leg. Relations carried him miles away, to the home of a witch-doctor, or "Juju-man". According to some people, this wise and grey-haired old man had mystical powers. After greetings, gifts were presented. The Juju-man examined the injured man, invoked the gods of the land and poured a libation. Then he caught a cock and broke one of its legs and said to Okafor: "The day you see this cock walk, you will walk."The novel does well to illustrate the culture that frames the context, characters and narrative. African words are introduced throughout the text, traditions are explained, proverbs feature prominently, and character is built through vivid descriptions and flashbacks of past events. There is a real mounting sense of a disintegrating community spirit, as younger generations become more selfish and money-oriented.
