About this title

Review:

"Jane, an anthropologist, is huddling in what she hopes is anonymity from her ex-husband DeWitt, an acclaimed black poet who plunged into sorcery while accompanying Jane on a working trip to Lagos. She must come out of seclusion to stop him from completing a forbidden ritual that will give him untold powers. As Jane and DeWitt spar in the realm of "m'doli," the unseen world, Gruber creates a hallucinatory atmosphere as unsettling as it is exciting, with potent scenes of witchery that weave a dark, lingering spell." -- People magazine
