Description

From Tamar Myers, writer of The Witch Doctor's Spouse, comes a mesmerizing story of a young child split precariously and equatorial Africa between two sides. In 1945, a baby quit unintentionally to die in the woods of the Belgian Congo is found with a small Bashilele tribesman on the quest to maintain the top of an adversary. As its thought to be human—despite her soft white skin and unusual orange eyes—the infant is introduced in to the group and elevated. Thirteen years later, the girl—now named "Unpleasant Eyes"—will find himself in the heart of the debate that'll stone two individual communities.
