Imagine a fourteen-year-old prince from a war-prone tribe eloping with a king's twelve-year-old daughter in ancient northwest Cameroon. Nangeh, the oldest daughter of savage King Bonteh, elopes with her lover Ful. It is against the law for a woman to walk away with a man and have children without a bride price. These events set the pace for a savage tale of love, betrayal, hostility, and hatred, which causes Nangeh's downfall. "Ngwainmbi has done great service to African culture by bringing such an eye-opening story to light." - West Africa Democracy Radio, Dakar, Senegal "Ngwainmbi's telling of the story provides... a technicolor view of pre-colonial Africa." - Robert Kelly-Goss, Journalist, USA "Beautiful, vivid, and highly detailed... [He] is, in fact, authoritative and understands clearly the history of his own people and the cultural significance of that history." - The Daily Advance "Ngwainmbi does a wonderful job describing the culture and customs of the African people. He makes it very clear that culture and custom are an intrinsic part of these people's lives." - Reader Views, USA "If the story's purpose is to point out how the variations in tradition can impact lives, then (the author) did a fine job." - Marissa Libbit, Book Reviewer, USA
