When a country is torn apart by civil war, Kunle and Tunde are separated, each on opposite sides. Desperate to find his brother, Kunles search becomes one of atonement, leading him to join an army and to fight in a war he barely understands. Amidst the chaos, he forms deep, lifelong friendships and falls in love. But his ultimate hope remains: to reunite with his family.
An emotionally powerful masterpiece, Chigozie Obiomas odyssey of brotherhood, love, and extraordinary courage set against the backdrop of the Biafran War captures the essence of a young mans quest for redemption in a nation ablaze.
