Because his father has lost his job, Ẹniọlá spends his days running errands for the local tailor, collecting newspapers, begging when he must and dreaming of a big future. Wúràọlá is a golden girl, the perfect child of a wealthy family. Now an exhausted young doctor in her first year of practice, she is beloved by Kúnlé, the volatile son of an ascendant politician. When another local politician takes an interest in Ẹniọlá and sudden violence shatters a family party, Wúràọlá's and Ẹniọlá's lives become intertwined"--Dust jacket flap.
