Indigokafe Proudly Presents
Author: Chioma Okereke
Synopsis:
At the heart of this novel is the village of Mannobe and its colourful cast of characters: Babylon, a gifted musician who falls under the
spell of the beautiful Jericho who has recently returned from the city; Mabel and M'elle Codon, twin sisters whose lives have
taken very different paths; Magdalena, daughter of Mabel, who nurses an unrequited love for Babylon; and Allegory; the
wise old man who adheres fiercely to tradition.
Bitter Leaf is a richly textured, poetic and evocatively imagined tale about love, and loss, parental and filial bonds, and
everything in between that makes life bittersweet.
