Jacket design by Peter Edwards. keywords: Literature Africa Nigeria. FROM THE PUBLISHER - HIGHLIFE FOR LIZARDS is Onuora Nzekwu's third novel. It confirms the promise shown by WAND OF NOBLE WOOD and BLADE AMONG THE BOYS. Set in the Onitsha district of Nigeria, it tells how Agom, daughter of a priest of the ancestral cult, marries Udezue to escape the drudgery which home has become. After five years of married life, an accusation of infidelity and a glorious night in bed, she steals Udezue's authority in his own home. This tastes like gall on Udezue's palate. The taste is made more bitter by Agom's apparent sterility. Udezue sets out to retrieve his loss. He abandons his first plan when his friend and neighbour assures him it savours of a challenge to the authority of the elders, a challenge that will eventually destroy the couple. Then he contrives to marry Nwadi, Agorn's childhood friend, and sets them each against the other.As the story at HIGHLIFE FOR LIZARDS unfolds, the reader is given an insight into the way of life, aspirations, and ideals of the daughters of this commercial town on the Niger. inventory #26285.
