Description

Uwakwe, like a few others in Amaokwe, becomes a nominal Christian. He suddenly grows circumspect of the faith and lives, afterwards, in godlessness to the strong disapproval of his unbelieving friend, Ibeku, and to the disgust of his Christian wife, Ugomma. As his ordeal persists, a plague befalls Amaokwe. The powers of the gods are impatiently tested as the roles and influence of divinity in the affairs of the village are impetuously questioned. During the plague, the land of Amaokwe witnesses a time when pagans and Christians speak with one voice and look up to one of their own as their saviour.
