This book is built around a character, Musolima, who loses his parents while young. His adolescence is precarious, getting into trouble often, eventually finishing university. Musolima gets in trouble with his late brother's widow and is incarcerated. His life is shattered till Prosy, with whom he falls in love, rescues him. Before they marry, she loses a limb; ties of blood bind their love, however, so they wed. Musolima gets a job, but trouble stalks him. Fortunes spin, he is promoted, and gets an heir. The book concludes with a great family celebration. In African, celebration is an important part of life, irespective of the economic and social standings. Among the Banyole, who live in Bunyole, now called Butaleja, celebrations mean huge feasts."When Banyole eat, they groan with joy, the joy of the pain they have endured. This thrilling book is full of adventure and keeps the reader guessing. It is loaded with life-sustaining lessons for young people, adults and the family. It is a must-read!
