Flowers and shadows

Ben Okri (Author)
"Set in Lagos, the novel depicts the pernicious effects that a self-seeking generation has on the next. Jonan Okwe, a ruthless businessman corrupted by ambition, finds that old sins cast long shadows. But, in the climax ... the full impact of the sins are visited on the hopes and dreams of his idealistic son. However, the completed cycle initiates the difficult possibilities of optimism and love"-- Page 4 of cover
