Flora Nwapa 
Lake Goddess [EPUB ebook] 

Sokongan

The Lake Goddess came to be Flora Nwapa’s last novel, yet possibly her most important one, as it restores African culture and spirituality. "Nwapa’s message is clear: she-Ona/Ogbuide/woman-may have many children, but she also independently succeeds in her own life, and she is a source of healing and inspiration to all human beings suffering from the ills and madness of modern society worldwide. The goddess whom Nwapa invoked finally reemerges in her original glory in The Lake Goddess to brighten women’s path. Her powers and mysteries shine, once again, despite the onslaught of foreign powers and their religions, when Nwapa accounts for the destructive forces of globalization and for attempts to push Uhammiri’s children into the abyss of derangement, to rob the deity of her benevolence, and to deny her people both children and wealth. Yet, when the lake goddess finally appears with her image fully restored in Nwapa’s last novel, the messenger, who invoked her, has left the land, crossed the river, and joined her ancestors to live on." Sabine Jell-Bahlsen, The Water Goddess in Igbo Cosmology: Ogbuide of Oguta Lake.
