Synopses & Reviews
As the hours tick by, the departing governor-general works long into the hot night, destroying the evidence, rewriting history. Somwhere else, their dreams full of power and wealth, the future leaders of the country sleep uneasily.
On the eve of a new age, Azaro's world is in turmoil. His father has been arrested for a murder he didn't commit. This fresh crisis has roused and empowered Azaro's mother, and the women who follow her in her quest for justice. In the neighbourhood, dark and unseen power are unleashed by the destruction and the rape of the land. As the white men prepare to leave, a new tension fills the air.
With the clear eyes of a spirit-child, Azaro sees it all his father's powerlessness, mirrored in the disappointment of the people and the anger of the dispossessed spirits. Infinite Riches continues the story which began with The Famished Road and opens a new chapter in the adventures of Azaro as he continues to make sense of the perplexing world of the living. By turns thunderous and tender, Infinite Riches will resonate in the mind and heart of the reader for a long time.
