"This book is an intellectual classic ... It is not for the shallow minded" - Gillian Asiedu-Danso. Annabelle shone like the moon, about her aura was a pearly glow. Somtoo was dim like a fatigued lantern-void of spark, and a regular bland student like a grain of rice amongst many. He wanted Annabelle to himself and was ready to do anything, even succumb to Honor's inhumane strategies. Honor was an eccentric entity, an expert manipulator of the human mind, a god, according to popular opinions. It was to him Somtoo submitted and surrendered to as a sovereign entity, disregarding the consequences of bowing to a new god and the fact that there was no turning back.
