Plot summary
Timi graduates at the top of his class at Cambridge, speaks sixteen languages and becomes one of the youngest clergymen in the Church of England. He marries Bridget, and their daughter Alison is born. His father's death brings the family back to Nigeria, where Timi rebuilds a church in Ibadan and settles into a comfortable life. A local thug and his gang shatter that life, and Timi retreats into isolation at his house. Elijah has just finished his national service year and moves to Ibadan, where he hopes to start a church. He sets his sights on the abandoned church Timi built. Anna, a volunteer at the local medical center, and her father, the businessman Chief Okonkwo, stand on opposite sides of what Elijah wants.
