Book Synopsis

Who decides what must be buried and that which should be inherited?

In the village of Okeze, stories that are not forgotten may linger in whispered conversation or go silent. Sometimes that silence is passed from one generation to another until it becomes too heavy to carry. At the heart of Okeze '94 lies the story of four generation of women bound by resilience, and the enduring struggle between silence and defiance. Rich in folklore, culture, and emotional dept, this unforgettable novel explores what families choose to remember, what communities choose to forget, and the cost of carrying the past into the future.
