“Death by Inheritance”
A Novel by Alfred Obiora Uzokwe
“Death by Inheritance” is set in a small village in East Africa...
Men and women are dying from the “evil disease” believed by the
locals to be transmitted diabolically through witchcraft. Hurriedly
covered tombs of the dead ubiquitously litter the ghostly landscape.
Many children have become orphaned because of the scourge.
Those who shun the tradition of wife inheritance, believed by some
to proliferate the disease, pay a price. Can this scourge be contained?
Can this one-time predominantly farming and fishing community
in the valley of Lake Victoria survive the onslaught of this
epidemic? Only time will tell.
Never has any writer, through fiction, probed so deeply into the aftermath of a
scourge that is ravaging the African continent and indeed the globe.
