(blurb) In 1960's Nigeria, a country blighted by civil war, three lives intersect. Ugwu, a boy from a poor vilage, works as a houseboy for a university lecturer. Olanna, a young woman, has abandoned her life of privilege in Lagos to live with her charismatic new lover, the professor. The third is Richard, a shy Englishman in thrall to Olanna's enigmatic twin sister. When the shocking horror of the horror of the war engulfs them, their loyalties are severely tested as they are pulled apart & thrown together in ways that none of them imagined....

I picked this up at a library sale....the title caught my eye as it was one of the questions in the quiz Netstation set for this years Bookcrossing Convention!

It seems to have earned a few 10/10's from other bookcrossers so maybe it was a good choice...wonder if I'll agree!
