Meanwhile, Gentl and his wife, Ama Three, fight against each other in a test of love, and their increasingly disillusioned children are forced to take sides. Gentl's favourite snakes serve as bodyguards against Torro's antics; Torro is protected by his own sadistic rats - he has two lives left, but is weakened by Gentl's patience. As these two prepare for the final conflict which will determine the fate of Achimota, the children of the land take up their own battle.
In this provocative, witty, part-surreal novel, Kojo Laing's futuristic world has real possibilities.
