George Mugohe is an elementary school teacher who lives in Kigali, the capital city of Rwanda. In this spellbinding novel showing the area's cultural roots, he refuses to betray his Christian faith by honoring his kin ghosts. Because of his rejection, his wife Caroline becomes mad and dies. Diviners and his wife's ghost intervene and advise George to offer a cow to his kin ghosts on behalf of his dead great-grandfather if he wants to get a new wife. He refuses and instead marries Claudine Rebero against his kin ghosts' wishes. As a punishment, he is unable to make love to his second wife. When Claudine abandons her husband, George changes his mind and honors his kin ghosts as advised. The couple reconciles and Claudine returns home. To publicly thank Almighty God, George and Claudine pay for a special mass. Unknown to the invited guests, high-ranking angels, famous ghosts, and George's kin ghosts all attend the service. An angel then visits the couple to tell them their future. J
