This was my first novel ever gifted to me by my dad who disliked us reading novels (he knew most of them were no-good romance). I read it with gusto as a pre teen and even though I didn't understand all the concepts, it left enough of an imprint in my mind that thirteen years later, I'm still searching for a copy so I can enjoy it better as an adult. I can never forget the rivalry between Ogugua and her mate, or the love between Bomboy and his little brother. A must read for all I must say!
