Summary	"Nigeria during the 1960s ; a time of vicious civil war in which a million people die and thousands are massacred in cold blood. Three people get swept up in the violence during these turbulent years. One is a youing boy from a poor village who is employed at a university lecturer's house. Another is a young middle-class woman, Olanna, who has to confront the reality of the massacre of her relatives.
