About
This is a love story showcasing a typical case of African love about the most handsome man in a hamlet, Azuoze, trying to marry a woman regarded by the villagers as the ugliest woman in the whole world because she is squint-eyed and smallish in stature, and as a result mock her. And because of the mockery she lost self-confidence, suffering from sets of complexes which invariably affected her whole life - love life inclusive. Many couldn't believe that something whatsoever could actually bring them together as one is a very rich but humble Prince and the other a peasant and grossly shy cocoyam farmer. The purported gap between the two were so wide that the villagers compared them as Goliath and the Ant. What set this book apart from other fictional dramatic works are the factual historical events mentioned in the lines of the book for example pages 15 and 16 mentioned about the 17th King of the Bamum people of Western Cameroun who invented a writing system called A-ka-u-ku, as well as was an Architect and a Pharmacist and also invented a machine in Cameroun. Pages 61 and 62 talked about how Japan and the Koreans developed. Other historical places and events were also adapted into the drama.
