Get ready to be swept away! This isn't just a book, it's a time machine! Ben Okri has ignited a lost world, a vibrant, pulsing Nigeria on the very brink of change! Imagine: the moment before everything shattered, before the shadows of the Atlantic slavers fell!
Picture this: two souls collide! A prince, restless and searching, and a brilliant daughter of a hidden tribe's master craftsman. A fleeting glance by the river, a promise, a spark! But when she vanishes, the prince plunges into a quest, a dangerous journey into the heart of her secret world, a journey that throws him straight into the jaws of his enemies!
And then, the whispers begin! Ghost ships on the horizon, glimpsed through the trees, a chilling white wind that steals everything: songs, stories, art, and then… people! It's a race against time, a desperate fight to hold onto a world about to be devoured!
This is more than just a story! It's a rebirth! A chance to witness history, raw and real! This book, a powerful re-imagining of "Starbook," is here to set the record straight! It's a blazing light on the historical truth, a truth that demands to be seen!
As Ali Smith says, "Ben Okri is that rare thing, a literary and social visionary!" And Marlon James declares, "Where fiction's master of enchantments stares down a real horror, and without blinking or flinching, produces a work of beauty, grace and uncommon power!"
Prepare to be breathless! Prepare to be changed! This is Ben Okri at his most electrifying!
