Set against the backdrop of Ghana's independence in 1957, the novel explores themes of self-betrayal, self-discovery, and political awakening. Through rich characterizations, it delves into the complexities of exile and community, reflecting the vibrant culture of the Gold Coast. This work not only stands out as Laurence's debut but also foreshadows the themes and depth found in her later Manawaka series, leaving a lasting impact on readers akin to the rhythmic sounds of Ghanaian drums.
